Using [^/]+ for the domain part instead should be slightly more
efficient, since it will never result in backtracking. Also stricter,
since it anchors the /profile directory at the domain.
Now you made me go away and read the perl RE manual!
Nice - [^/] meaning to match any character that is not a "/", one or
more (+) times. I'd not come across negated character classes before so
thanks for the tip!
And anchoring the /profile directory at the domain definitely reduces
the likelihood of FPs.
