in thread Display filenames in mbox folder

I did a grep with that pattern
Did you do a grep -P? Normal grep doesn't support Perl regular expressions. Neither does it with -E.

    Neither -P or -E worked. I wrote a small script to use that pattern and nothing returned. It would seem the pattern is incorrect.

      Strange. It works for me: 
      say for map { /^([0-9][\w.:,=\-]+)$/ } qw( 1231125716.6864.bLyyk:2,S 1
+422830161.R3.asus64:2,S);

      Output: 

      1231125716.6864.bLyyk:2,S
1422830161.R3.asus64:2,S

        I used the following .. 

        #!/usr/bin/perl

use warnings;
use strict;
say for map { /^([0-9][\w.:,=\-]+)$/ } qw( 1231125716.6864.bLyyk:2,S 1
+422830161.R3.asus64:2,S);

        and got: 

        Possible attempt to separate words with commas at dirrecurs17.pl line 
+11.
Bareword "say" not allowed while "strict subs" in use at dirrecurs17.p
+l line 11.
Execution of dirrecurs17.pl aborted due to compilation errors.

        [download]

        So I commented out the .. 

        #use warnings;
#use strict;

        [download]

        ran the script and got no output ??

        Possibly there is something wrong with my Perl install. I noticed various folders under /usr, like Perl, Perl5
