<p>An interesting observation. The behaviour for (?:...) and naked match strings is however appropriate provided you have at least one capture (...) in the RE.
<code>
@ary = 'stuff stuff stuff' =~ m/(?:st)u(ff)/g;
print "@ary";
__DATA__
ff ff ff
</code>
<p>Depending on your viewpoint your observation represents a bug or a feature!
<p>cheers
