Question about the posted SocialSecurity Scrubber

  For the iRule you have posted for finding/scrubbing social security numbers is it necessary to calculate $ssn_len since it seems that based on the regexp the length would always be 11?    ...

That code was lifted from the Credit Card Scrubber rule which has variable lengths. I don't see any problem in hard coding the length to 11 as that is the length of the regular expression string that is being matched.
