Yeah I saw that but wasn't too sure what they meant by a prefix. I wonder why they built the module that way. Seems like there would be cases you'd want to use something like this were the "prefix" wouldn't be known in advance.

    I haven't used this module before today so I can't offer any deep insight into the ways things have been set up.

    I did wonder (exactly as you have) why it's set up like this.

    I've just successfully tried the following:

    my ($extracted,$remainder) = extract_bracketed($text,'()', ($text =~  m{ \A ( [^(]+ ) }msx)[0]);

    You might choose to use something like that in all cases that might have an unknown prefix.

    I haven't checked out the solution below (by Khen1950fx) - that may be preferable.
