A Reg-exp compendium of frequently occuring matches?

[Mark Day]

I was wondering if anyone out there had compiled a list
of regular expressions for tasks that occur frequently such as
stripping out HTML tags, validating IP addresses, etc.
Is there anything like this around? If there's a link for something like
that, it would be very handy and helpful, thanks in advance.

Search for regexp at http://search.cpan.org and you'll see plenty
of examples under the Regexp::Common namespace.

Probably the best starting point is here:

Both of those are extremely poor uses for regular expressions.

http://search.cpan.org.

To validate an IP address, Validate::Net.

To strip HTML tags, HTML::Strip.

For generic common regular expressions, Regex::Common.

That's great, thanks.
Looks like there are many such common tasks that could be added here.

Patches welcome.

As soon as my skills are that far along, I'd be happy to.
