This is more of a 'conceptual' question on how do to several things. The first is to 'build' a hash table of 'regexes' that are being used in a program, given an input line the hash will lookup the shorthand values (aka variable name) and then test for the 'success' or failure of the regexes on input. So question 1 is How do I effectively 'quote' regexes inside a hash table? and secondly: How do I 'test' the regexes inside the hash table? Question 2 is: the actual regexes and 'hash lookup values' are quite messy as they come from java. Some of the key lookup names are quite horrid: 
Key                               Lookup
$(server_connection.socket_errno) [\d\-]+
%t                                \d\d/\d\d/\d\d\d\d:\d\d:\d\d:\d\d

I am then 'chopping up' log entries using split based upon white space, and would like to 'test' field order as defined in a first line of log: 
$(server_connection.socket_errno) %t blah

Then input to follow in 'separated by whitespace same order as 'first line' as noted above 
my-test 10:00

Ultimately I want to know if there is a 'miss' or a 'hit' Which I know can be nicely done with a counter. I'm not really looking for 'code' but more for ideas since I did write some, but it was quite messy.
