Two things to note:

1) It's a shame that perl did not come up with named captures. It was already available at least in .NET (and Ruby, I believe?) before perl 5.10 was released.

2) %+ is rather slow.

That said, named capture *is* a godsend. This feature belong to the "how did I manage to get by without this" category.
