Re^5: How do a make an IP look up non-greedy?

I'm puzzled by the presence of the curly brackets in your command-line statement exerciser: the code seems to work just fine without them.

>perl -nle "print ' ==> ', eval"
print 2
2
 ==> 1
'12a34' =~ /(\d)/
 ==> 1
'12a34' =~ /(\d+)/
 ==> 12
'12a34' =~ /(\d+$)/
 ==> 34
'12a34' =~ /(\d+ $)/x
 ==> 34

(And, yes, MS command lines are "a bit" funky; yet another WinNoyance®.)
