Okay, based on what was here I tried to find a better way to assemble my data, here is an example of the way it would look: 
#!perl -w
@res='index.cgi';
@ext=qw(css tmp class edf);
@regex='';
foreach(@ext){
    $reg=$reg."|^.*\\.$_\$";    
}
foreach(@res){
    $reg=$reg."|^\Q$_\E\$";
}
if($regex){
$reg="|$regex$reg";
}
$thing=~/^\.+$$reg/i;

I've cut out the source of the actual data, and inserted sample info for simplicity. How is my improvement?
