7.10 The Next Step

This was just an introduction to perl's regular expressions. There is much more available functionality, and I am referring you to the following sources for more information:

• The perlsyn manpage
• The perlre manpage. The bugs section of it says that it "varies from difficult to understand to completely and utterly opaque".
• The perlfaq6 manpage.
• The book Mastering Regular Expressions by Jeffrey Friedl, published by O'Reilly and Associates.
