http://www.regular-expressions.info ... that's how I learned. :)
Anyway... your match might be something like:

^/([^/\.]+)/?$

And the rewrite...

"/p.php?purl=$1"

To break it down, the match is looking for "The beginning of the line,
followed by a forward slash, followed by (begin capture group) 1 or more
characters that are not a forward slash or a period (end capture group)
followed by an optional forward slash, followed by the end of the line."

The rewrite is fairly straightforward.

I went 100% generic with the match due to your following e-mail that
stated "jasonpruim112" could be any username. If "112" is necessary for
the match, it would be more like:

^/([^/\.]+112)/?$

Hope this helps,
