in reply to The dreaded if-elsif-else construct (code)
So in your solution, don't you have to check each entry in the hash to test for pattern match.
This seems kind of strange. Does it have to be a full regular expression to match. can you
use the first four characters or something as a key into the hash.
Just thinking out loud here. The first and second directory, do they have any effect on what
variables are changed. can you create a tree of hashes (hashes of hashes) representing categories
of changes so you can get rid of looping through all 100 or so patterns.

I always wanted to be somebody... I guess I should have been more specific.
