Hey, thanks. That helped to clarify it a bit. I actually was not aware of the ( match ) [ index ] syntax. I tried some similar stuff but never got it quite right, and wondered if I was still in the right ballpark at all.
That's pretty much what I was looking for in the clean practical solution that I suspected the existence of. Also yeah thanks for pointing out my typing gaffe with the @awesome. And the doc:// shortcuts are great to know about, actually I see that there are a lot of interesting things happening in that section.
I am still curious about the guts of it, ie what you mentioned in your second update, but will for now simply accept that perl works in mysterious ways. Thanks again!

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).
