[Mpls-pm] Interesting RegEx Problem

[Gypsy Rogers]

The most straight forward is a series of elsif statements, not the prettiest
but it works clean.

if ($string =~ /regex1/){ $match = "regex1"; }
elsif ($string =~ /regex2/) { $match = "regex2";}
elsif ($string =~ /regex3/) { $match = "regex3";}
else { $match = "Your string is worthless"; }

No hubburis here, and I'm sure someone else will come up with a much more
fun and acrobatic way to do it, but I've learned to keep my code easy for Jr
Level coders to read to save me headaches. So, this works.
