The only trouble here is that $regexp_to_glean_mgs has to be
general enough to match whatever you've got in %returnvalue and so
at that point, the return value from the regex matching is
probably just returning the "interesting" part of the syslog
string. At that point, you can't do any more RE pattern matching.
For a fake example:
mailsrv1: message 293872 died
mailsrv2: message 222222 died
then you'd basically have to have every possible syslog entry in
%returnvalue.
