    Before there was python, before there was node, there was perl. It’s old, it’s crufty, it’s a product of a bygone age, but even today if you want to do something with regular expressions and ingesting text it’s still one of the easiest options. Of course it’s highly debatable if you should ever use regex to ingest text.
