... what (?i) is used for ... This regex operator turns on case insensitivity until the end of the current matching scope. See `(?adlupimsx-imsx)` and `(?^alupimsx)` in Extended Patterns. It has the same effect (but with scope control) as the `/i` global pattern modifier; see Modifiers. (Both in perlre.) Aside from its scope flexibility, I prefer to use `(?i)` rather than the `/i` modifier because of its greater general readability. Give a man a fish: `<%-{-{-{-<`	[reply] [d/l] [select]
