/^Table regex needs an 's' trailing modifier
Depends on what you want in the $table variable. I was intending to get the name of the table, i.e. only what follows 'Table:' on that line. Adding the s modifier would put the entire rest of the paragraph into the variable.
the '[Alias]' line actually ends with a trailing space, and is '[Alias] '
In that case, I'd write
:-)if ( $tag eq '[Alias] ' )
But more importantly, square brackets are special in regular expressions, so you'd want to escape them if you go that route:
if ( $tag =~ /\[Alias\]/ )
