Re^2: Oddness with regex quantifiers

[talexb]

Good point. I even suggested 0 earlier in this thread, but now I think 1 would be a better choice. I guess I'm spoiled by how well Perl deals with default values; I though it would DWIM in this case.

And I was wrong. I'm now chastened, older and wider wiser; and I'm using {1,5} in my regex.
