Thanx, Philip. But your suggestion is not well applyable for me because my
client application receives automatically generated regexps from server
application. The (*MARK) verb is effectively used to transmit extended
information for callouts.
I already solves the problem: now my application doing some additional
costly actions to split and restrict this information. But if you can
doing things a bit more Perl-compatible than do it please.
