Ahh, you are right; there is no '|'-alternation in BRE.
We of course could do something like:
good=" .*/objects/$x2/${x38}_$x40 HTTP/[.0-9]*" 20[0-9]\""
grep -e "\"PUT $good" -e "\"MOVE $good"
But that's too ugly.
I don't mind Perl as we already depend on it; the looseness of the regexp
stil bothers me somewhat, though...
