in thread Yet Another Rosetta Code Problem (Perl, Ruby, Python, Haskell, ...)
It works just fine. Try pasting the following into your url bar:
javascript:alert("ZBBBCZZ".match(/((.)\2*)/g))
That should alert the output of .toString() called on the array result.
If you have Firefox use the following to see the unadulterated array source:
javascript:alert(("ZBBBCZZ".match(/((.)\2*)/g)).toSource())

Update: Does that imply that Javascript has different capture semantics than perl?
