Now you've done it!

Didn't you know it never comes true, if you tell people what you wished for?

<grin>

I'm in the middle of reading the RE Apocalypse. The changes look good, make Perl regexp much closer to lex/yacc than to traditional regexp. 

On the other hand, I'm currently learning Java ... Too bad Perl didn't come out with effective, readable REs before Java adopted Perl5 REs. Of course, Java would have botched 
it in either case.
