D Non-digit
s White-space
S Non-white-space
# Assertions (Position Definers)
^ Start of the string
$ End of the string
# Quantifiers (Numbers Of Characters)
n* Zero or more of 'n'
n+ One or more of 'n'
n? A possible 'n'
n{2} Exactly 2 of 'n'
n{2, } At least 2 (or more) of 'n'
n{2,4} From 2 to 4 of 'n'
# Groupings
() Parenthesis to group expressions
(n/sitebuilder/regex/images/1/a) Either 'n' or 'a'
Character Classes
[1-6] A number between 1 and 6

[D-M] An upper case character between D and M
[^a-z] Absence of lower case character between a and z
[_a-zA-Z] An underscore or any letter of the alphabet
Useful Perl Snippets
$mystring =~ s/^s*(.*?)s*$/$1/; Trim leading and trailing whitespace from $mystring
$mystring =~ tr/A-Z/a-z/; Convert $mystring to all lower case
$mystring =~ tr/a-z/A-Z/; Convert $mystring to all upper case
tr/a-zA-Z//s; Compress character runs, eg: bookkeeper -> bokeper
tr/a-zA-Z/ /cs; Convert non-alpha characters to a single space

#Install a perl module from behind a firewalll using ppm
#=============================================================
Example with Compress-Bzip2
1. Download tar package from the nearest cpan mirror to C:\Temp\TEMP folder (could be other also ; )
2. Create Compress-Bzip2.ppd type of file , containging the following:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<SOFTPKG NAME="Compress-Bzip2" VERSION="2,2,09">
<TITLE>Compress-Bzip2</TITLE>
<ABSTRACT>Blah</ABSTRACT>
<AUTHOR>Somebody</AUTHOR>
<IMPLEMENTATION>
<CODEBASE HREF="file:///C|/Temp/TEMP/Compress-Bzip2-2.09.tar.gz "></CODEBASE>
<INSTALL></INSTALL>
<UNINSTALL></UNINSTALL>
</IMPLEMENTATION>
</SOFTPKG>
Attention: . Name and codebase NOT C:\ BUT file:///C|
3. Open Dos prompt into the C:\Temp\TEMP (or whichever you prevered in the beginning)
4. Run the command :
ppm rep add downloadedTars C:\Temp\A_DOWNLOADS\downloaded _perlmodules
In order to add the folder to the list of your current ppm repositories
5. ppm install Compress-Bzip2
In order to install the module from the local folder
6. ppm rep delete myNewRepository
In order to remove the repository from the ppm
#Add company's servers to thte local ppm's repository
ppm rep add linox1 http://linox.company.com/mirror/cpan/
ppm rep add linox2 ftp://linux.company.com/mirror/cpan/
