I'm not having much luck with that :), probably using it incorrectly
though.

Is this correct:

my $mso = $row[2]( m/MS\d\d\-\d{3}/);

or am I just way wrong on this one?

m/MS\d\d\-\d{3}/

Why did I do \d\d and \d{3} both?

because \d\d is shorter than \d{2} and \d{3} is shorter than \d\d\d plus

it illustrates two ways of doing it :)

See `perldoc perlre` for more details.

HTH :)
