Devon;
You must have been using a different Perl than the one I was exposed to last
year. I had the I-could-do-this-easier-in-J feeling every moment I was
wrestling with Perl. I guess YMMV applies.

If I were you, I would rather not use regex but instead depend on
counting
lines
and position. Of course, it should pay attention to boundary conditions.
