Isn't it easier to just switch over to $1 and $2 at this point? Your new substr workaround isn't very readable (to me anyway), so it appears that you've lost the one thing you were hoping to gain by using %+.

my $regexp = qr/(\d+)\s+(\d+)/; while(<$fh>) { next unless /$regexp/; my $value1 = $1; my $value2 = $2; print "GOT $value1 $value2\n"; }

    I completely agree yours is more readable that the OPs alternate version. But even more readable is:

    my $regexp = qr/(\d+)\s+(\d+)/; while(<$fh>) { my( $value1, $value2 ) = /$regexp/ or next; print "GOT $value1 $value2\n"; }

    In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.

    The start of some sanity?
