perlquestion linuxer <p>Hi, <p>I'm currently working on a translation of [doc://perlvar] (into German) and wonder, if I found a bug, or not. <p>The paragraph for <c>%+</c> (<c>%LAST_PAREN_MATCH</c>) starts with: <blockquote>Similar to "@+", the "%+" hash allows access to the named buffers, should they exist, in the last successful match in the currently active dynamic scope. </blockquote> <p>Now I wonder, how <c>%+</c> is similar to <c>@+</c> (which is <c>@LAST_MATCH_END</c> and described in the paragraph directly before <c>%+</c>). <p><c>@+</c> is about <i>"offsets of the ends of the last successful submatches"</i> and <c>%+</c> about accessing <i>"named capture buffers"</i>. <p>How can these two things be similar? Maybe I misinterpret the "similar to" (I am not a native English speaker). <p>I think, if <c>%+</c> is similar to another variable, then it should be <c>$+</c> (<c>$LAST_PAREN_MATCH</c>). <p>I checked the perldoc of 5.10.0 and 5.10.1. Both contain this bug (The feature of named capture buffers was introduced with 5.10.0). <p>And now let me ask for your wisdom: <p>Do you also consider that a bug, or not? If I am wrong, please help me to understand that part. <p>Thanking you in anticipation.
