The general answer to this sort of problem is to use capturing parentheses in your regex in combination with the /g operator:

# assume $regex has been built with qr// and matches what you want my $regex = qr/foobar/; # assuming $data contains all the data you want to scan from my @things_im_interested_in = ( $data =~ /($regex)/g ); # or, if it isn't and you are doing this from multiple data # strings push @things_im_interested_in, $data_chunk =~/($regex)/g;

The /g modifier returns all the matches in the string, so those match operators return a list of the matching parts of the string.

However, as a read through the Perl FAQ (or even on this site for, say "Email Address") will reveal, using regexes to match email addresses is a dicey issue in the first place.

I mistrust all systematizers and avoid them. The will to a system shows a lack of integrity -- F. Nietzsche

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
