in reply to regular expression help

I was originally going to reply going "oh, there's this fabulous module that contains regexps for all sorts of common stuff called Regexp::Common", but it doesn't do dates - yet!

There's another good resource called the regular expressions library - try this listing for some examples.

    You apparently haven't seen my rant about that place. Nor looked at the number of specific items in the past few months that I've commented on that are broke, misleading, or should be better done without regex.

    That place is a joke. Blind leading the blind.

      You're right of course - I hadn't come across your blog post about it (and being a bit of a newb, haven't seen your perlmonks posts).

      Mixing my metaphores perhaps, but there's more than one way to do it, but some ways are more equal than others :)
