use strict;
my $instr1 = "111{first first}222 333{second}444";
my @outstr = ( $instr1 =~ m/{([^}]+)}/g );
Basically, you need to use parentheses in the regular expression to capture the data
and then put
parens around the entire expression to put in list context.
If you prefer a syntax closer to what you had, you can do the following:
my $instr1 = "111{first first}222 333{second}444";
$_ = $instr1;
my @outstr = m/{([^}]+)}/g;
Also, I stripped out your dot star and replaced it with a negated character class. See
http://www.perlmonks.org/index.pl?node_id=24640 for why this is done.
