If you have a few regex to apply to each line an array of pre-compiled regex is about the most optimimum you are going to get if you need to know which regex matched. If you only care about the fact one did match you could construct one super regex to rule them all but that could be dificult.
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
my @regex;
while (<DATA>) {
chomp;
push @regex, qr/$_/;
}
while (my $line = <STDIN>) {
for (0..$#regex) {
print "matched no: $_\n" if $line=~/$regex[$_]/;
}
}
__DATA__
foo
bar
baz

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
