As per your code, your m// expression will match first digits ( 55 ) at all time as per my understanding

No, because I used m/../g in scalar context, which remembers the previous match position in pos, and then always returns the next match during subsequent calls.

Maybe you are more familiar with it in this idiom:

use 5.010;

$_ = 'a123b45c6';
while (m/(\d+)/g) {
     say $1;
}

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.
