Need Help??

Often you can just assign the results of the match. Make sure you are in list context if you have only one capture.

my ($this, $that, $some, $other) = /(this)(that).*(some)....(other)$/;

my ($cap) = /hello(there)/; # OK
my $cap   = /hello(there)/; # BUG

Often you can just assign the results of the match. But not if you use `/g`, as `/g` acts quite differently in scalar and in list context.	[reply]
