An interesting observation. The behaviour for (?:...) and naked match strings is however appropriate provided you have at least one capture (...) in the RE.

@ary = 'stuff stuff stuff' =~ m/(?:st)u(ff)/g;
print "@ary";
__DATA__
ff ff ff

Depending on your viewpoint your observation represents a bug or a feature!
