What do you mean by "do a Regex"? Do you want to match the lines agains regular expresisons, or do you want to modify the lines via substitution?
As usually, there are more ways how to do that. For example, if you are in a *nix environment, you can tac your file and process it from the last line. Or, you can remember the last two lines in case you want to process them: my @lines;
while (<>) {
push @lines, $_;
shift @lines if @lines > 3;
}
if ($lines[2] =~ $regex1) {
if ($lines[1] =~ $regex2) {
if ($lines[0] =~ $regex3) {
# Do your work here.
}
}
}

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
