Perl and Regular Expressions

Hello,

can anybody tell me, why the following Expression does not match this line:

#gptofoo pcl-900 printer/HP-Business_Inkjet_2200

Regular Expression:

if (m!^\#\s*gptofoo\s+([^\s]+)\s+([^\s]+)!) {

Code:

$ perl -le '$line = "#gptofoo pcl-900 printer/HP-Business_Inkjet_2200"; print "hi" if $line =~ m!^\#\s*gptofoo\s+([^\s]+)\s+([^\s]+)!'
hi

it does too match! lol
