[NTLUG:Discuss] Perl pattern matching problem

Walk through the code with the perl debugger (perl -d).  Verify the
values of each variable as it's assigned.  We can only guess what
<LIST> is, and have no way of verifying what's in @Model with the code
you've presented.

I once had someone tell me that real men don't use debuggers.  Don't
fall for that trap.
