++ for effort, oko1, but you may wish to consider a couple small points:

For example:

String: now is the time Regex: /\stime/ Result: now is the time Matched: Yes

might be uninformative to the newcomer who hasn't yet groked much about regexen (and, specifically, about the need to use capturing parens in your program to obtain appropriate feedback). OTOH, of course, it works splendidly for this (in which our presumed newcomer has come to understand captures, even if s/he can't follow your code):

String: now time Regex: /now\s(time)/ Result: now time Matched: Yes Captures: [#1: 'time']

So, Good to go! for those who have at least some of the basics... but:

My bad! See alexm's correction, below.
String: fred same joe time
Regex: ?time?
The regex must be a valid match or a substitute expression.

String: |time|
Regex: |time|
The regex must be a valid match or a substitute expression.

String: fred same time
Regex: ~time~
The regex must be a valid match or a substitute expression.

String: fred same time
Regex: !time!
The regex must be a valid match or a substitute expression.

Perhaps a brief addition to the use_instruction (line 10) specifying the use of /.../ as the acceptable regex delimiter for input to this script (or re-coding to accept the usual alternatives?) and a bit of clarification about the output would make your script an even more valuable tool.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • 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).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
