I need help understanding a match

Hi All,

In another post, Bill gave me a wonderful match that took
a ridiculously long line of test and cut out what I wanted
and put it into cells of an array.

@ClickArray = $ClickPage ~~ m:g/ <?before ^ | download > .*? <?before \> 
| \h+ > /;

I do not understand what he did.

m:g   = match and global

<>    = litteral

?     what does this do?
^     what does this do?

|     what does this do?
\     what does this do

\h+ >   what does this do?



Yours in confusion.
-T


In practice:
