Re: Global matches, eq, @matches = ($str=~/('[^']+')/g)

I didn't notice the example in the subject when I responded, so I
may have misunderstood.  If there is demand for m//g, then my
inclination would be to add MatchResult getMatch(int index) and 
int getMatches(), with getMatch() returning getMatch(0)
and all of the MatchResult interface methods operating on
getMatch(0).  The /c option would only have any meaning when a
PatternMatcherInput was used as input.  The crufty part is that
all of those MatchResult interface methods will now be confusing.
Another possibility is to have a nextMatch() and previousMatch()
to iterate through the matches and a method to reset back to
the first match.  You'd still want to be able to index directly
and also get the number of matches, but now when you choose a
particular match, the MatchResult methods refer to the current
match, instead of the first one.  I don't know, file an enhancement
request through Bugzilla and we can hash it out.  It should
probably go in after the v2.0.8 release.
