Re: Requiring backtracking a certain number of times

[ferrency]

I went down this same track, and came up with a version that doesn't munge $_:

s/(\d)/$s+=$1,$1/ge;

Although I was hampered by the fact that this doesn't work in psh for some reason.

After playing, I came up with:

@a=/.(?{$s+=$&})/g;

However, I have to have the @a=. If you run it without that, it only deals with the first number. *blinkblink* That's just so counter-intuitive.
