PERL regex matching lines containing certain directory path

What is the best way to use regular expression in Perl for filtering all lines containing, for instance /usr/libexec/postfix?

That would also catch, e.g.: /usr/libexec/postfix/qmgr, /usr/libexec/postfix/smtp, /usr/libexec/postfix/local and so forth?

This should work:

if ($line =~ m{^/usr/libexec/postfix.*}) {
     print "Match!\n";
} else {
     print "No match\n";
}
