in reply to Regex Debugger?

Use YAPE::Regex::Explain to see if the explanation matches your expectations.

Use GraphViz::Regex similarly.

Try tweaking the regex using a tool such as The Regex Coach (Win32 only, IIRC), or Regex Lab.

See if someone else has already done something similar.

Use Regexp::Assemble to combine smaller, individually working pieces.

See Debugging Regexes.

    With http://weitz.de/regex-coach/ you can step through your regex. There are also versions for Linux as well as an older version for Windows at the site in case the .exe above does not work.
