do you know that when you are using the concatenation operators you are actually embedding into a string what is being concatenated to it and since Perl allows you to do string interpolation on the dereferenced variables you could well write this
print "\n\n\$String = ".$String."\n\n";
as this:
print "\n\n\$String = $String\n\n";
and the same thing goes for
print "\$Regex1 = ".$Regex1."\n";
and
print "\nJust to check:\n\$1 = ".$1."\n"
so try to be more organized in writing your code... I see an HTML line break in the body of your code !!!!
