The link posted in Re^2 by AnonyMonk points to an elderly post which links to the (sorely outdated) docs here on-site. A better way to do this is `[docs://perlre]` which produces a link, perlre, (to the perlre page `http://perldoc.perl.org/`) and the current docs. Though, I suppose, if directing one's suggestions to someone who hasn't updated/upgraded his or her installed Perl since 1999, the Monastery docs might be more appropriate.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
