Re^2: regex help

no criteria, just missed it out by accident. all i need to do is extract variable,array names. variables like $array1 should just be $array. i guess i will need to avoid ${__PACKAGE__

Perhaps then all what you need is (untested): `/(?(DEFINE) (?<sigil> [\$\@%&]) (?<name_atom> (?: [_A-Za-z][_A-Za-z0-9] \| [0-9]+) ) (?<separator> (?: :: \| ')) (?<name> (?: (?&separator)? (?&name_atom) (?:(?&separator) (?&name_atom)))) (?<punct> \S)) (?&sigil) \s (?:(?&name) \| (?&punct)) /x` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

I assume that's on the OPs list of variables he'll avoid. Just like he won't be using `${^POSTMATCH}` or any of those special variables...	[reply] [d/l]
