I call <this> a macro in my text file.

I need to find all matches to a regex and put each match from a single scalar, into one or more positions in an array. I'm trying to pull out strings that look like /<(ig|igt|igo|igxo);.+?>/. Basically I need to pull out macros that begin with "<ig;", "<igt;", "<igo;", "<igxo;" and end with ">". This is my attempt.

my($re,$lin,@g,@inarr); my(@inarr)=( 'stuff{tag}<igo;123>stuff<ig;abc>', '<igt;ddd>stuff blah {foo}', 'stuff blah foo <igxo;dsldkd.eps>', '<igt;aaa>stuff blah <igx;hhh>' ); $re='<(ig|igt|igo|igxo);.+?>'; foreach $lin (@inarr) { @g=($lin=~m/$re/g); } # foreach
After this runs on $inarr[0], @g should contain:
@g=('<igo;123>', '<ig;abc>' );
but I'm getting:
@g=('ig');
What am I doing wrong here? I've already searched Google but haven't found what I'm looking for yet.

Thank you.
