using re: hitting recursion limit

[Erik Johnson]

    ayup....

sys.getrecursionlimit() and
sys.setrecursionlimit()

is the sort of thing I was thinking about, but wasn't aware of exactly what
or where the functions were. :)  Thanks for that, Terry.

    And I will have to study Andrew's reply for a while to fully understand
it, but I got the general idea. I have read about look-ahead assertions in
Perl before, but never actually used them. I think I can work with this.

Thank you both for the fast and helpful replies!  :)
