in thread Is there a more functional regex syntax?

Nice trick using the -1 index like that, I'll have to remember that...

Regarding the original question though, I was hoping for a solution that keeps the regexes, because even if replacing them with split is possible in this case, that won't always be feasible if dealing with more complex regexes.

    Some regexes will work inside those parentheses.

    $totals[$_] += ($range =~ /(\d+)/g)[$_] for 0, -1;
