Need Help??

For an example, please see my old node The story of a strange line of code: pos($_) = pos($_); where I deliberately want to do that. It happens because to make the code more readable, I'm not matching one big regex with a lot of alternation, but multiple regexes one after another, and more than one of those can match the empty string at the same position.

Thanks for the context. Does rubasov's solution not answer this question? In what way does it fail to meet your criteria?	[reply]

That solution rewrites the multiple regular expressions to a single big regular expression. That works, but I didn't need it. I never had jsm's performance problem (presumably because I didn't use those perl versions for that very old code), so assigning pos worked just fine for me.	[reply]
