Thanks for the prompt replies, folks!
Unfortunately, my names can be embedded in larger "words" of the input
text, as long as they are delimited by certain punctuation.
If I can figure out all of the permitted punctuation, I will try out
a split() and a hash lookup.
But Regex::Trie seems more likely to help. (I guess I was hoping that
the Perl regex compiler would automatically do that kind of optimal
regex construction, without the need for a module.)

It might look like I'm idle, but at the cellular level I'm really quite busy.
