Monks,

I the follwing text: 
192.168.89.1   acmeorp.acme.com
192.168.31.3   ftp.acme.com
192.168.19.179   [Unknown]

I'm caputuring the ip and servername into separate arrays. Here is my regex that does this: 
push (@ips, $1) if /\b(\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3})\b/;
push (@names, $1) if /\b\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\b\s{2,}(\w[
+^\s]*|\[Unknown\])\s{2}/;

My question is, is there a way to reference the ip match in my regex that matches the server name? I thought this would work, but it doesn't: 
#push (@names, $1) if /$1\s{2,}(\w[^\s]*|\[Unknown\])\s{2}/;

Thanks,
