Ronald Kimball pointed out (off-list) that my patch for the helper script 
will also catch things like ".#dir/file.pm". That's not exactly what I 
intended, but on the other hand why would we want to include that?

He suggested this:

  ^(?!\.#)[^/]*(?:/(?!\.#)[^/]*)*(?:\.yml$|\.yaml$|\.pm)$

I think that's correct. This would all be much simpler if we could run the 
regex against just the file name.
