What, precisely, are you finding "tough"?

What have you tried so far? How has it failed to do what you want?

1) Read: perldoc perlretut, perldoc perlre, perldoc perlreref
2) Post a short-but-complete script that demonstrates the failure
you're encountering, along with sample input and desired output.

Paul had mentioned some things to read for understanding regexp and I
found that the perldoc perlretut helped me alot. Paul recommended them
to me as well and it helped greatly!
