no. /g just makes the match START at the end of the last match. this forces it to scan the string to the end so the LOOP will end. /g has nothing to do with stopping anything itself. it just sets the starting point of the match. you can do a single match in scalar context without /g but it will not scan forward for the next time. this is what caused your infinite loop. /g is very useful in scalar context when used in a loop. uri
