in thread negative regex without !~

There are many perl CGI and Tk programs that ask a user to enter regular expressions. If you are entering a regular expression in an entry box you typically cannot put '!~' on the front of it to negate it. I don't know if this is the kind of thing the original poster is talking about, but it seems like a very possible scenario
