in thread perl look ahead regular expression that is optional?

:) Thanks for your explanation. Because the examples seemed to contradict the rules, I went with the rules. This is an interesting exercise and lesson for me.

I think these rules could have been written more clearly .. but I won't go on any more about this. It's been an education.
