That's interesting and tho I haven't tried it yet, I see what you 
mean (after looking up the use of ? in this context).

My problem with this is that like so many other things in Perl, it is 
anti-intuitive. If modifiers go after the last /, why should a 
modifier that is embedded via a variable go after the first /? This 
strikes me as needlessly bizarre even by Perl standards. :-[

Anyway, thanks for your suggestion.
