Cool, right? :-)
Yes, very cool! I have decided to use that format and it does ease adding or modifying entries. My final regex looks like this (shortened to only a couple of entries): my regex dirs { ^ \s* [ # <= non-capture grouping | '/home/user/.cpan' | '/home/tbowde/.emacs' # more entries... ] } used like this: next LINE if $line ~~ /<dirs>/; Thanks, Moritz!
