Sadly your example fails to produce the desired result :-( Here are a few different ways to write it, all do the same as Randal's example, which we start with.

tachyon

@lines = <DATA>;

@result = map /<.*?>/g, @lines;
result(1);

for (@lines)
{
    @result = /<(.*?)>/g;
}
result(2);

for (@lines){
    @match = /<(.*?)>/g;
    push @result, @match;
}
result(3);

for (@lines){
    push @result,$1 while /<(.*?)>/g;
}
result(4);

@result = map{/<.*?>/g}@lines;
result(5);    

sub result {
    print"\nResults",pop,"\n";
    print "$_\n" for @result;
    @result = ();
}
