Another option would be to explicitly allow a reference to a regular expression

for the autofind option.  If it is a regular expression reference, then assume
the
caller knows how to anchor or not as desired.  If not a regular expression,
then
assume the anchor, with or without options.

$pattern = (ref $autofind eq 'Regexp') ? $autofind : qr/^$autofind/;
