The code works fine, after you fix the typo pointed out by Anonymous Monk.

Please continue to ask questions at this website. Hopefully the mild criticism you (justifiably) received will encourage you to post questions with more thought, and following the guidelines in How do I post a question effectively?.

Update:: As en encouragement for you to post research/questions here - I wanted to thank you for posting this particular question.

I'm an "old school" perl programmer, and your question encouraged me to research these new RE features - something I would not have done otherwise, so -- Thanks --.
