in thread substituting capture groups substrings

For future browsers: /d should be \d, and really, unless you intend to allow unicode digits, should probably be [0-9].

     For future browsers: /d should be \d, and really, unless you intend to allow unicode digits, should probably be [0-9].

    Thats what //a and //aa are for (since v5.13.10 according to perlver)

    $ perl -Mre=debug -le "print qr/\d/"
Compiling REx "\d"
Final program:
   1: DIGIT (2)
   2: END (0)
stclass DIGIT minlen 1
(?^:\d)
Freeing REx: "\d"

$ perl -Mre=debug -le "print qr/\d/u"
Compiling REx "\d"
Final program:
   1: DIGIT (2)
   2: END (0)
stclass DIGIT minlen 1
(?^u:\d)
Freeing REx: "\d"

$ perl -Mre=debug -le "print qr/\d/a"
Compiling REx "\d"
Final program:
   1: DIGITA (2)
   2: END (0)
stclass DIGITA minlen 1
(?^a:\d)
Freeing REx: "\d"

$ perl -Mre=debug -le "print qr/\d/aa"
Compiling REx "\d"
Final program:
   1: DIGITA (2)
   2: END (0)
stclass DIGITA minlen 1
(?^aa:\d)
Freeing REx: "\d"

      Only if you have the capability to run on perls newer than that. [0-9] works back much further.

        :) yeah I was thinking "I know something, FYI there is a new feature to disambiguate the magic of \d" but it came out as "thats what X is for"
