Ok. (?: ... ) groups part of the regex. It just binds it together as one
big clump.
The {3} is a quantifier, like {1,3}. {1,3} means "1, 2, or 3 times". {3}
means "exactly 3
. Thanks again!!

You want to capture the specific part of the regex with ( and ), and then
set that equal to a variable. There are two ways of doing that:
if (/(pattern)/) {
$x = $1; # $
