You might also have luck with @-, brand-new to 5.6.0 (it says here in perlretut).
$-[0] is the offset of the start of the last successful
match. $-[n] is the offset of the start of the substring
matched by n-th subpattern, or undef if the subpattern
did not match.
for (qw(foo bar baz)) {
if (/(foo)|(bar)|(baz)/) {
print "\$+ = $+\n";
print "\@- = " . join('/',@-) . "\n";
print "scalar \@- = " . scalar(@-) . "\n";
}
}
__END__
$+ = foo
@- = 0/0
scalar @- = 2
$+ = bar
@- = 0//0
scalar @- = 3
$+ = baz
@- = 0///0
scalar @- = 4
which would seem to indicate that you could do $sub[scalar(@-)-2]->();,
although I think I'd prefer something easier to understand, if I
were going to maintain this.

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).
