That's because after your regex has processed the first two numbers, it
moves on to the next two numbers. If you inputted 1234, you would probably
get back "1.23.4".
If I were you, I'd try something more like this:
my @numarray = split(//,$_);
$_ = join('.',$_);

Subject: an error in a simple regexp
Hi,
I typed this simple cmd in the bash:
echo 123 |perl -pe 's/(\d)(\d)/$1.$2/g'
and expected ouput like
1.2.3
but obtained this one:
1.23
What's wrong and how to write a regexp cmd which will
transfer a number to digits with dots in between?
eg: 1234 -> 1.2.3.4
Thanx
Regards,
Dusan
