Pattern Examples

In order to demonstrate many different patterns, I will depart from the standard example format in this section. Instead, I will explain a matching situation and then a possible resolution will immediately follow. After the resolution, I'll add some comments to explain how the match is done. In all of these examples, the string to search will be in the $_ variable.
