        Sorry if my first post was misleading.  Those were just some examples.  
I'm looking only for an occurrence of _any_ two words in that list, not a 
particular combination.  Though the most common combo is a PO Box and a street 
address.

> my $address_count = () = $str =~ /box|street|avenue|lane|apo/ig;

        Thanks for the tips!

Marc
