in reply to regexp match count

The first match operator is called in list context. m//g in list context returns a list of all the captured strings or a list of all the matched strings if there are no captures.

The second match operator is called in scalar context. m// (with or without 'g') in scalar context returns true if a match occurred or false otherwise.
