Based on what halley(++) said, there is no specific advantage that perl 5.10 provides to resolve this.
I came up with this relatively short snippet that expresses what you want to do, and is generic enough to be extensible, yet legible (Uses 2-stages of RE extraction, and does not require you to pre-define the number of elements you expect to extract ):
my $str = 'Digits: 123689';
print join ',',
m/(\d)/g
for $str =~ m{Digits: \s* (\d+) }x ;
#prints:
#1,2,3,6,8,9

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).
