in thread How to define a list of regular expressions?

Thanks, Anonymous Monk ...

What, though, if I do not want to loop over the regexes but retrieve them from the list via shift when needed? Can you point out to me where or why my code is broken?

Thanks - Pat

    Instead of
    my $regex = qr/shift @regexes/;
    do just
    my $regex = shift @regexes;
