Hi everyone,

I am having problems with the (?{}) construct within a regex. In the code below, the print statement works fine. However, nothing gets pushed to the array. Does anyone have any insight on what is happening here? The input is on a line of C code. Thanks in advance.

Update: Oh yes, I'm using 5.8.3 ActiveState on Win32. 

my @conds;
my $outer_conditional = qr/
   (
   #(??{$term})
   (?:
      (?: && | \|\| | & | \| | \^ )
      #(??{$term})
   )+
   )
   (?{push(@conds, $^N), print "   cond $^N\n"})
/x;

while ($line =~ /$outer_conditional/g)
{
   my $conds = join ", ",@conds;
   print "Conditionals: $conds\n";
}
