Hi!

The $ isn't neccessary (regular expressions are greedy and "dot rest of line" (\..*) is the same as "dot rest of line to the end of the line"! (\..*$)) because it will match the longest expression it can from the first dot it finds (hence the greedy bit).

Single, double, doesn't matter unless there's something you want the shell to expand somewhere - in which case you'd use double quotes.

Google.... there's lots of stuff out there. (or look around on this site. my RE's are anything but great, but if there's an answer to be had, you could probably find it here)

locale::maketext::extract::plugin::perl

Locale::Maketext::Extract::Plugin::Perl(3pm)		User Contributed Perl Documentation	      Locale::Maketext::Extract::Plugin::Perl(3pm)

NAME

       Locale::Maketext::Extract::Plugin::Perl - Perl format parser

SYNOPSIS

	   $plugin = Locale::Maketext::Extract::Plugin::Perl->new(
	       $lexicon 	   # A Locale::Maketext::Extract object
	       @file_types	   # Optionally specify a list of recognised file types
	   )

	   $plugin->extract($filename,$filecontents);

DESCRIPTION

       Extracts strings to localise (including HEREDOCS and concatenated strings) from Perl code.

       This Perl parser is very fast and very good, but not perfect - it does make mistakes. The PPI parser
       (Locale::Maketext::Extract::Plugin::PPI) is more accurate, but a lot slower, and so is not enabled by default.

SHORT PLUGIN NAME

	   perl

VALID FORMATS

       Valid localization function names are:

       translate
       maketext
       gettext
       loc
       x
       _
       __

KNOWN FILE TYPES

       .pm
       .pl
       .cgi

SEE ALSO

       xgettext.pl
	   for extracting translatable strings from common template systems and perl source files.
