      Greetings, Salutations, and all that crap,

   I have the DOS version of perl and a printed copy of the unix man
pages for it. Its all fairly clear, except for the use of regular
expressions. I don't use vi, sed, or awk, and have only a platonic
relationship with grep. Where can I read about the uses/abuses of
regular expressions?
