Ok... I have *got* to be missing something here. The CommonAdjust is now 
this:

CommonAdjust    :sale_price, ;:price, ;$,
==products, "&($item->{prod_group}=~/Gifts/ ? '-50%' : '-20%')"

the "-50%" value appears to get ignored and 20% discount is being 
applied to all items even though I'm telling it "if the product group is 
*Gifts*." If I reverse to the two discount percentages then 50% discount 
is applied to all items.

At the moment I'm feeling dumber than a stump, but I do very much 
appreciate your assistance and indulgence.

BTW... I tried using the grouping regex looking at the sku:
==products, "&($item->{sku}=~/^(?:90|40|94)/ ? '-50%' : '-20%')"
but received the same results and behavior as mentioned above. The only 
thing it appears to be acting on is the "last" discount value that 
appears in the expression.
