| > my $s = 'aaa123bbb' | |
| aaa123bbb | |
| > $s ~~ m/ ('a' **3) \d**3 ('b' **3)/ | |
| ｢aaa123bbb｣ | |
| 0 => ｢aaa｣ | |
| 1 => ｢bbb｣ | |
| > my $regex = / ('a' **2) 'a' \d**3 'b' ('b' **2) / | |
| / ('a' **2) 'a' \d**3 'b' ('b' **2) / | |
| > $s .= subst($regex, $0 ~ "x999y" ~ $1) | |
| aaax999ybbb | |
| I would have expected the result to honour the captures in $regex being evaluated in the subst method call, producing: | |
| aax999ybb | |
| Answer: (By MasterDuke) | |
| $s .= subst($regex, {$0 ~ "x999y" ~ $1}) # need to put the replacement into a block (#callable) |
