Untested, and not very thought out: $_ = "hellohiworldhellohiworldhellohiworldhellohiworld";
if (/^((.+?)\2+)$/) {
print "[$1][$2]\n";
}
Update: Hmm, this does not work, and I'm not sure why (regex bug? or bad code?) :-(
Ok, got the above code to work at least the way I was expecting, but still probably not what you want.
<update>Though here's something that seems to do what you want: use warnings;
use strict;
$_ = "helloworldhellohellohihellohiworld";
my %pttrns;
PTTRN: {
if (/\G(.{2,})(?=.*?\1)/g) {
$pttrns{$1}++;
SKIP: {
my $again;
for my $pat (keys %pttrns) {
if (substr($_, pos, length $pat) eq $pat) {
pos() += length($pat);
redo SKIP;
}
}
}
redo PTTRN;
}
}
print "[$_]\n" for keys %pttrns;
~/tmp >./tst
[world]
[hello]
[hi]

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

are good places to start.
