in reply to Use of /o regex modifier?

It gives the expected behavior for me with 5.6.1: 
Enter regex: a
Enter string: abc
Matches!
Enter regex: d
Enter string: abc
Matches!

    Interesting, I'm also running 5.6.1 (ActiveState build 626), but I get different output: 

    Enter regex: a
Enter string: abc
Matches!
Enter regex: d
Enter string: abc
Enter regex: d
Enter string: abcd
Matches!
Enter regex: \d
Enter string: 3
Matches!

    So maybe I understood the /o modifier correctly after all. Now I just need to know why it ain't working! Thoughts, anyone?
