Re: numerically named vars

in reply to numerically named vars
in thread search, replace and backrefrences

From perldoc perlvar:

$<digits>
Contains the subpattern from the corresponding set of parentheses in the last pattern matched, not counting patterns matched in nested blocks that have been exited already. (Mnemonic: like \digits.) These variables are all read-only.
