Hi perlNinny,

Another thing you could do, if you only want to apply regex substitutions, is to make the values of the hash list references, where the first item in the list is the left side of the substitution, and the second item is the right side of the substitution.

Here's an example: 

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;
use warnings;
                                                                      
+      
my @views = (
    "ignore",
    "abbbbc",
    "mn123op",
    "ignore",
    "uvwxy",
);

my %functions_hash = (
    'ab+c$' => [ 'b+',    'x' ],
    'mn\d+' => [ '(\d+)', '<number>' ],
    'uvwxy' => [ 'uvw',   'UVW' ],
);

foreach my $data (@views)
{
   while (my ($key, $pvalue) = each %functions_hash)
   {
      if ($data =~ /$key/)
      {
          my ($from, $to) = ($pvalue->[0], $pvalue->[1]);
          $data =~ s/$from/$to/;
          print "data is now $data\n";
      }
   }
}

Which gives these results: 

data is now axc
data is now mn<number>op
data is now UVWxy
