Dear Monks, The code belongs matches some properties and prints them out: 
#!/usr/bin/perl

my @AllColumns;

push @AllColumns, "Property1";
push @AllColumns, "Property2";


print "Lap 1:\n";

foreach my $Column (@AllColumns)
{
    print "$Column? : ";

    if ((($Column =~ m/Property/gs)))
    {
        print $Column."\n";
    }
}

print "\n\nLap 2:\n";

foreach my $Column (@AllColumns)
{
    print "$Column? : ";

    if ((($Column =~ m/Property/gs)))
    {
        print $Column."\n";
    }
}

1;

My desired result is that both columns should be printed both times. However, the "g" in the regexp doesn't give me the desired result. Removing it does. Why? Or more specific, how should i use the "g" option?
