=item Simple word matching
=item Using character classes
-\d is a digit and represents [0-9], \s is a whitespace character and
-represents [\ \t\r\n\f], \w is a word character (alphanumeric or _) and
-represents [0-9a-zA-Z_], \D is a negated \d; it represents any character
-but a digit [^0-9], \S is a negated \s; it represents any non-whitespace
-character [^\s], \W is a negated \w; it represents any non-word character
-[^\w], The period '.' matches any character but "\n", no modifiers (//):
-Default behavior. C<'.'> matches any character except C<"\n">. C<^>
-matches only at the beginning of the string and C<$> matches only at the
-end or before a newline at the end, s modifier (//s): Treat string as a
-single long line. C<'.'> matches any character, even C<"\n">. C<^>
-matches only at the beginning of the string and C<$> matches only at the
-end or before a newline at the end, m modifier (//m): Treat string as a set
-of multiple lines. C<'.'> matches any character except C<"\n">. C<^> and
-C<$> are able to match at the start or end of I<any> line within the
-string, both s and m modifiers (//sm): Treat string as a single long line,
-but detect multiple lines. C<'.'> matches any character, even C<"\n">.
-C<^> and C<$>, however, are able to match at the start or end of I<any>
-line within the string
-
=item Matching this or that
=item Grouping things and hierarchical matching
-0 Start with the first letter in the string 'a', 1 Try the first
-alternative in the first group 'abd', 2 Match 'a' followed by 'b'. So far
-so good, 3 'd' in the regexp doesn't match 'c' in the string - a dead end.
-So backtrack two characters and pick the second alternative in the first
-group 'abc', 4 Match 'a' followed by 'b' followed by 'c'. We are on a roll
-and have satisfied the first group. Set $1 to 'abc', 5 Move on to the
-second group and pick the first alternative 'df', 6 Match the 'd', 7 'f' in
-the regexp doesn't match 'e' in the string, so a dead end. Backtrack one
-character and pick the second alternative in the second group 'd', 8 'd'
-matches. The second grouping is satisfied, so set $2 to 'd', 9 We are at
-the end of the regexp, so we are done! We have matched 'abcd' out of the
-string "abcde"

=item Extracting matches
=item Matching repetitions
-C<a?> = match 'a' 1 or 0 times, C<a*> = match 'a' 0 or more times, i.e.,
-any number of times, C<a+> = match 'a' 1 or more times, i.e., at least
-once, C<a{n,m}> = match at least C<n> times, but not more than C<m> times,
-C<a{n,}> = match at least C<n> or more times, C<a{n}> = match exactly C<n>
-times, Principle 0: Taken as a whole, any regexp will be matched at the
-earliest possible position in the string, Principle 1: In an alternation
-C<a|b|c...>, the leftmost alternative that allows a match for the whole
-regexp will be the one used, Principle 2: The maximal matching quantifiers
-C<?>, C<*>, C<+> and C<{n,m}> will in general match as much of the string
-as possible while still allowing the whole regexp to match, Principle 3: If
-there are two or more elements in a regexp, the leftmost greedy quantifier,
-if any, will match as much of the string as possible while still allowing
-the whole regexp to match. The next leftmost greedy quantifier, if any,
-will try to match as much of the string remaining available to it as
-possible, while still allowing the whole regexp to match. And so on, until
-all the regexp elements are satisfied, C<a??> = match 'a' 0 or 1 times. Try
-0 first, then 1, C<a*?> = match 'a' 0 or more times, i.e., any number of
-times, but as few times as possible, C<a+?> = match 'a' 1 or more times,
-i.e., at least once, but as few times as possible, C<a{n,m}?> = match at
-least C<n> times, not more than C<m> times, as few times as possible,
-C<a{n,}?> = match at least C<n> times, but as few times as possible,
-C<a{n}?> = match exactly C<n> times. Because we match exactly C<n> times,
-C<a{n}?> is equivalent to C<a{n}> and is just there for notational
-consistency, Principle 3: If there are two or more elements in a regexp,
-the leftmost greedy (non-greedy) quantifier, if any, will match as much
-(little) of the string as possible while still allowing the whole regexp to
-match. The next leftmost greedy (non-greedy) quantifier, if any, will try
-to match as much (little) of the string remaining available to it as
-possible, while still allowing the whole regexp to match. And so on, until
-all the regexp elements are satisfied, 0 Start with the first letter in the
-string 't', 1 The first quantifier '.*' starts out by matching the whole
-string 'the cat in the hat', 2 'a' in the regexp element 'at' doesn't match
-the end of the string. Backtrack one character, 3 'a' in the regexp
-element 'at' still doesn't match the last letter of the string 't', so
-backtrack one more character, 4 Now we can match the 'a' and the 't', 5
-Move on to the third element '.*'. Since we are at the end of the string
-and '.*' can match 0 times, assign it the empty string, 6 We are done!

-sort() has been changed to use mergesort internally as opposed to the
-earlier quicksort. For very small lists this may result in slightly slower
-sorting times, but in general the speedup should be at least 20%.
-Additional bonuses are that the worst case behaviour of sort() is now
-better (in computer science terms it now runs in time O(N log N), as
-opposed to quicksort's Theta(N**2) worst-case run time behaviour), and that
-sort() is now stable (meaning that elements with identical keys will stay
-ordered as they were before the sort)

-1) I installed a new version of module X but CPAN keeps saying, I
-have the old version installed, 2) So why is UNINST=1 not the default?, 3)
-When I install bundles or multiple modules with one command there is
-too much output to keep track of, 4) I am not root, how can I install a
-module in a personal directory?, 5) How to get a package, unwrap it,
-and make a change before building it?, 6) I installed a Bundle and
-had a couple of fails. When I retried, everything resolved nicely.
-Can this be fixed to work on first try?, 7) In our intranet we have
-many modules for internal use. How can I integrate these modules with
-CPAN.pm but without uploading the modules to CPAN?
