Re^4: non-capture mode sometimes erases previous capture

> Any code you call -- library routines etc. -- after you run the regex, but before you want to use its results, might also use the regex engine and overwrite those temporary global variables

Invoking the regex engine in a different scope doesn't matter, the variables are properly dynamically scoped:

#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;
use feature qw{ say };

sub call_me {
    "xyz" =~ /(..)/;
    say $1;
}

"abc" =~ /(.)/;
call_me();
say $1;  # Still "a".
