I would like to have a script into which I could insert RegEx's to test them. I've been working with... 
#!/usr/bin/perl
#<RegTest.pl> Test a Regular Expression
use strict;
use warnings;
$FNAME="system-auth-ifds";
$fpid = open(XFILE, $FLNAME) or die "Search File Not Found: $!\n";
@fRecords=<FNAME>;
close FNAME;
$rCount = @fRecords;
if (@RECORD = grep (/^\s*password\s+requisite\s+(/lib/security/$ISA/)?
+pam_cracklib.*lcredit=([0123456789-]+/, @fRecords )) {
print "Yes";
}
else {
print "No";
}
