Hi Monks!
I have a array of hashes. Each hash contains a rexes rule. Given a path, I'm trying to iterate over the rules and find the first matching rule.
I'm trying to add a small feature which will help users to debug (since the rexes are user custom) - I want to mark the groups in the given path. For example: 
# Given path: /a/b/c/d
# Given regex: ^/a/b/([^/]*)/([^\/]*)
# Output: /a/b/\033[1;31mc\033[0m/\033[1;31md\033[0m

In this case I got: /a/b/[RED]c[/RED]/[RED]d[/RED].
The current code: 
foreach $regex_href (@rexes)
{
    %regex = %{$regex_href};
    if (@captures = ($path =~ /$regex{'regex'}/)) {
        # Do logic
    }
}

The @captures contains the group values that were captured (c and d in the example). I came a cross with the Term::ANSIColor module which can help me color the string without writing the color codes myself.
So, what would be the best way to create a variable $output that is basically $path but colored given the captured groups? You can assume that there are always at least two groups.
