Is it just me, or did Jay Ashworth say:

Was to me.  :)  I measure ease in replacements and regexp's by how few
backrefs there are.  :)  Yours was more explicit, but overkill as well.

Nahhhh...I could read yours! :) It's just the whole TIMTOWTDI thing...there
is more than one way to do it.  Incidentally and just FYI, you'll hardly
ever see \1, \2, et al in modern perl code.  The backslash backrefs have
been depricated in favour of $1, $2, et al.  I believe modern versions warn
you of this if you use -w, although I can't swear to it 100%.  I know
-something- warned me about it some years back and I switched.

No problem.
