Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
Is there a name for the =()= "operator"? Does it have any further significance beyond returning the number of matches from a regular expression?
I just noticed googling for =()= turns up nothing, it is not mentioned in perlre or perlop (!), and it is usually not listed as an operator anywhere.
