D'oh, yeah, because of (?{ ... }). Sigh. Ok, I'm saying what the program does, since it's been so much of a hassle already. It prints all sequences (not necessarily continuous) of a string:
input: abcd
output: a b c d ab ac ad bc bd cd abc abd acd bcd abcd

Actually, there's also an empty line when you do this. Because of that, a better way to say this is that the output is the set of all subsets of the input list where the elements in the subset follow the order from the original list. This includes the trivial solutions of the empty set and the original set, in addition to all other non-trivial solutions. So that's some nice golfin' there :-)
