Aren't there usually better ways to get what you're looking for?

    $s = "regex test";
    while ($s =~ /(.)*/ ) {
        print $_;
        push @mem, $_;  # i forget push syntax, this looks right...
    }

Or something like that. There are more idiomatic ways to do it, but
suffice to say that if you need to get the positions that's possible.

Would the while-loop above, or something to that effect, do it?
