 DB<1> x "ZBBCZZ" =~ /(??{'(.)\1*'})/g;
0  'Z'
1  'BB'
2  'C'
3  'ZZ'

And I see pKai is from Erlangen - an easy 216.6 km scenic drive from Darmstadt. :)

Nice necropost BTW.

Update: Maybe you should try to hire pKai to replace your new Python guy. :)

Actually our last "real" German Perl Workshop in 2020 ° was there and I'm wondering if I (ever) met him. :)

(There was a time where I thought Erlang was named after Erlangen ...)

°) the only in-house/unwired Perl Workshop of 2020 AFAIK! =)
