Re: [perlre] \G with /gc does not catch last match for me

The \G meta-character specifies the zero width point after which the last global match left off, in your case, after the 22. So, you're left at 'a44' and trying to match \d\d which of course does not match. If you were instead to go with...

$_ = "1122a44";
print $1, "\n" while /(\d\d)/g;

then you would get the effect that you are seeking.
