Hi

I thought it might be fun and a good exercise to implement a nodelet-hack in perlito, but I'm stuck with the regex support.

Does anyone know how to access the match from a grouping?

I tried this in http://perlcabal.org/~fglock/perlito5.html 

use v5;
use strict;
use feature 'say';


our $1;

if ("abc" =~ m/(a)/ ) {
  say "Match: ", $1;
}

[download]

and got this

Match:

Please note that I got an error without our $1.

Global symbol "$1" requires explicit package name

While the above code works in Perl¹ I'm pretty sure that I'm trying to access the wrong variable.

Playing around with different packages didn't help. Any insight what to do?

lanx@nc10-ubuntu:~$ perl
use strict;
use feature 'say';


our $1;

if ("abc" =~ m/(a)/ ) {
  say "Match: ", $1;
}
__END__
Match: a
