It's very hard to see where your regex starts and ends. To put slashes
within a regular expression use a pair of characters that don't appear
in the expression:
/regex/
is the same as
m[regex]
Also remember that you need to escape 'metacharacters' like dot and
star. Put a backslash before them like this:
m[srd\.yahoo\.com]
Try these things and see how you get on.
