$\ = "\n";
$date = "20020731";
print join "/", ($date =~ /(\d{4})(\d{2})(\d{2})/)[1,2,0]; # this works
print join "/", ($date =~ /(\d{4})(\d{2}){2}/)[1,2,0]; # this doesn't
__END__
why did the second pattern not capture the second occurance of \d{2} ?
Is this the correct action? or should it capture the second one in the
second example?
Is there a way to capture like so (like second example as I expected it to
work)?
