Re^2: multi-line regexp

And i think in this case, there is no difference between :

my @a = $str =~ /(aaaaa.*?)(?=aaaaa|$)/gs ;
[download]

and

my @a = $str =~ /aaaaa.*?(?=aaaaa|$)/gs ;
[download]

right ?

As far as I know lookarounds neither "eat" up any charakters nor do they save anything so it would just make sure to break the search, save its content in one cell of the array and go ahead because of global search.	[reply]
