If you have no interest in learning better Linux or Perl, skip this. If you are a Linux or Perl Deity, skip this. If, like me, you want to improve your basic Linux and pidgin Pearl to, say, halting fluency, help is a download away. Get the The Regex Coach – interactive regular expressions. Download it, and rejoice to live in a world in which people just make free useful goodies available for the rest of us.

I just wish I could use regular expressions to search Lexis or WestLaw!
