since davorg is a modest soul, i wanted point any person interested in this problem to his solution: Tie::Hash::Regex.

      Actually, I think you've got that slightly wrong. The original code says:

      if(!exists $is_acct{$usershare}){

      [download]

      Which is searching on key - not value.

      Tie::Hash::Regex still isn't a solution because I only implemented the FETCH method, not EXISTS. But it wouldn't be too difficult to add that.

        You're right, the code says 
        if(!exists $is_acct{$usershare}){

        [download]
        but the text says:

        "3. Then I am trying to compare all of the values in @dirs against the values in %is_acct for a partial match."

        So I think he wants to match the values in the hash and not the keys.
