in reply to "em" - Emphasize text using regular expressions

Greetings, FloydATC.
Nice utility!
"1. I would love for someone to adopt this and put it on CPAN so myself and others can get easy access to it"

I believe you're right. It should be available. It could be really handy for alot of implementations.
In fact, I took the liberty of creating a CPAN package for you. I'll be happy to upload it. But before I do, I'd prefer your inspection, and approval. :) -- Check your message box here, for all the scary details. :)

Best wishes.

    FWIW
    I changed it's name to reflect the acronym in an effort to avoid conflits with the *BSD em driver and related man pages. So it's packaged as cet-2. I also hung .pl on the end, to more easily distinguish it. Both of which can be easily changed prior to registering it on CPAN, should you be interested.
    Just thought I'd mention it.

    Best wishes.

        Greetings, FloydATC.
        OK. Will do, and you're most welcome. BTW thank you for having created, and shared it in the first place. :)
        On an aside; it appears that the chatbox/msg node broke the file name/link I sent you. As the link you chased, had a space between the name, and it's extension: 
        /staging/cet-2.%20tar.gz

        Maybe the "gods" are listening, and will fix this anomaly.
        I'll post back, after I see that CPAN has processed, and registered it.

        Best wishes.
