It's a hack but it gives you a hash mapping each name to it's index:

(see Dynamically inspecting Regex OP-Codes at runtime? for an explanation)

use strict; use warnings; use Data::Dump; my $a=qr/(?<C>1)(?<D>2)(3)(?<A>4)/; my $parsing=parse_regex($a); # parse lines like ' 1: OPEN1 'C' (3)' my %named_captures = ($parsing =~ /^ \s{1,3}\d{1,3}:\s+ # token number OPEN(\d)[ ]'(\w+)' # group(nr) 'name' [ ]\(\d+\) # next token $ /xgm); my %index_named_capture = reverse %named_captures; dd \%index_named_capture; # OUTPUT { A => 4, C => 1, D +=> 2 } sub parse_regex { my $regex=shift; my $re_compilation; # First, save away STDERR open my $SAVEERR, ">&STDERR"; close STDERR; open STDERR, ">", \$re_compilation or die "What the hell?\n"; # Now dynamically recompile a new regex, saving debug_info to $re_co +mpilation eval <<'_code_'; use re 'debug'; my $b=qr/$regex(?:)/; _code_ # Now close and restore STDERR to original condition. close STDERR; open STDERR, ">&", $SAVEERR; return $re_compilation; }
Careful: ATM this can't handle repeated names properly, for this you need to adjust the reverse part.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • 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).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
