I'm confused by this statement. So you could match a Perl keyword with that regexp? What about it?
> It's mixing looping logic with exception logic
It depends on the context, but that's five lines of readable code. Exposure to 20th-century codebases may have lowered my standards, but I don't find it particularly shocking, especially for something that looks like a quick text file processing script. What do you suggest that makes for better code?
