Look at perlre as well for the `/x` modifier: x Extend your pattern's legibility by permitting whitespace and comments. It was used so that everything could be spaced out for clarity -- that's also why al the `\s*` are in there because when using /x you have to explicitly say when you actually want to match whitespace.
