Given I already said that with "good luck" on the end, either your e-mail
was missing the end or it was content-free.

You're never going to make that work. Ever. In any way, shape or form. Apache
doesn't have powerful enough regexes. mod_rewrite doesn't have powerful enough
regexes. If you want to limited yourself to the apache feature set, fine, but
that kinda defied the point of writing in perl.

Plus, of course, you get to write a regex parser/generator.
