    my $regex = mask2re ($_);
    print "re $regex\n";
    print join ("\n", grep { /$regex/ } @array), "\n\n";
}


#turns a simple mask into a regex where * means
#none ore more chars amd ? means exactly one char
sub mask2re
{
    #replacements (after quotemeta)
    my %map =
    (
        "\\*" => ".*?",
        "\\?" => ".",
    );

    #quotema everything
    my $re = quotemeta ($_[0]);

    #replace * and ? by regex active statements
    $re =~ s/(\\[\*|\?])/$map{$1}/g;

    #return compiled regex
    return qr/^$re/;
