Maybe I'm wrong here, but I'd get
$str = "abracadabra";
bracadabr
cadabr
dabr
br
(so far identical), but then I'd also expect
bracad
cad
d
brac
c
br
which gets me to the question, if there'll be some elements multiple times in
the array (they should), and in which order they appear (first match to
(nth .. 1st) match, 2nd to (nth .. 2nd)) and so on ...
BTW: will
$str = "abracadabra";
@substrings = $str ~~ m:overlap/ a (.*) (b|d) /;
get some empty strings as well (I believe it should)?
