If you were referring to path_filters , please read the doc again, regex is only one of the possibilities, you can also provide a sub as filter. Should be straightforward...

You got me, I indeed only skimmed the docs and then forgot about the option to use a sub. That's embarrassing but helpful.

Edit

My code is now doing what I want and in case someone is interested, here it is: (my code was NOT doing what I wanted; it was repeating packages for reasons I do not yet grasp. This code now fixes that.)

EDIT

second EDIT

- messed up posting code by preprocessing it with Text::Textile. Obviously, this was unnecessary with Perlmonk's special processing of code blocks.
