Shoot. I am missing something here. I tried your code. It loops the right number of times, but it seems to only see the last character (the first match in a greedy match). So an input of '12345' looks like '55555'.
To test I tried
$x="12345";
for ($x=~ /./g) {
print $&;
}
print "\n";
but this gives me "55555" again. I notice, I should
be using a while and I try:
$x="12345";
while ($x=~ /./g) {
print $&;
}
print "\n";
which works. So I changed your code to use a while loop also and it works.

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).
