Hi
Though not directly related to the explanation here, I think this is the most relevant place.
There are 6 Patterm Matching Rules explained for Perl Engine (Programming Perl by Larry, Tom and Randal). But in Rule 3 what is the meaning of the Left to Right Pecking order as I understand that each and every item (Assertion or Atom) of the current RegEx Alternative is searched sequentially in the String from the current position onwards.
So in case the current item does not match at current position in the string, what does it mean to try the next higher pecking order items.
Thanx

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.
