@matches = $var =~ m/\w{5}$something\w{5}/g

Please respond to reche
Hi all,
I would like to match a string variable in a longer string retreiveing
the match plus 5 extra characters at each side of the
match.
This what I mean:
$var = 'something';
$line = 'SDFGHAsomethingWDFTsft';
and, I would like to get in a new variable the string
'DFGHAsomethingWDFTs'.
Any help in doing this will be very appreciated.
Cheers
Pedro
