in reply to The story of a strange line of code: pos($_) = pos($_);

Hi ambrus

Yes, combining \G and pos() is buggy. See also [bugs?] perldoc perlre, \G and pos() ...¹

Actually I wanted to send a bug report ... :-(

Cheers Rolf

UPDATEs: ¹) pos()=pos() is a workaround I used, indicating an implementation problem!

    His problem has nothing to do with pos. pos was his solution.
      and pos($_) = pos($_); was my solution when dealing with \G.

      But I have to admit that I'm not understanding everything ambrus is talking about.

      Cheers Rolf

      UPDATE: corrected typo! (thx ikegami)
