Here's an example from some of my code that it using Test::More. 

like( $query_results, qr{
   Class \s+ Time \s+ Hostname \s+ IP \s Address \s+ Policy \s Server 
+# Head
   \s+ ---------------------------------------------------------[-]+ #
+ Head line
   \s+ dr_test_class                    # class 
   \s+ $shared_data->{data}{date_regex} # date/time
   \s+ unknown                          # hostname
   \s+ 2001:db8::2                      # ip address
   \s+ $RE{net}{domain}{-nospace}       # domain name
   }mxs,
