This one worked for me:
/^.*\.[tj][pi][gfe].*$/
Hope this helps

what about this:
print "PIC is $1" if ($file_name =~ /\.(tif?f|jpe?g)$/i);

Sorry bout that blank email...
anyway... I thnk this would work
$filename =~ /(?:jpe?g$)|(?:tif?f$)/i
I think this one is wrong because you actually have
two patterns here...
if ($file_name !~ /tif$/i | /jpg$/i) {}
maybe you could try doing it like this..
if($file_name !~ /(tif$)|(jpg$)/i
no
