Nevermind. I see what you were saying. Technically, I've never tried to
get past the regex check with this script (that I can remember)...
I completely understand why you said what you did after I reviewed the
logic again.
Ahh well, I'd rather be vocal and get good feedback to later review than
say nothing and never learn!
Thanks all, because of a simple `perlcritic` warning, I've learnt a
tremendous amount!
