Is the benchmark module broke or something? lol!!

Yes. lol!!

print $1 while 'abcdefghijkl' =~ m[(.{3})]g;;
abc
def
ghi
jkl

use constant LEN => 3;;
print $1 while 'abcdefghijkl' =~ m[(.{LEN})]g;;
## notable absence of output mean the regex matched nothing (very, ver

Nice catch BrowserUk! You know I didn't even border to test the changed made on the regex to see the output. I think this is why is good to be paranoid some of the time, especially, when your pre-informed mind is called to question by new discovery! lol!! So, substr still carry the day!!!	[reply]
