Good evening my fellow perlmonks. I have a question on repeating a regex. Now let me explain to the people I already have thinking, what's this guy talking about. I have a string with a bunch of double-quoted phrases. I'd like to have one regex pull all the sets of double-quoted phrases out, but not sure how to get past the first one...

$myString = qq(stay "keep together" apart "and this" not);

I want to be able to pull the "keep together" and "and this" with one regex. Is that possible? I have this simple regex to pull the first...

$myString =~ /\"(.+?)\"/g;

That only gives me the "keep together" (without the quotes). Is there a way to do this with one regex or should it be tackled some other way?

Thanks.
