Re: [MacPerl] Regex which works, but doesn't

Oh, you wanted $1, $2, $3 to show up?  They won't.  Here's what perlre has to
say:

  The scope of $<digit> (and $`, $&, and $') extends to the end of the
  enclosing BLOCK or eval string, or to the next successful pattern match,
  whichever comes first.

They've gone out of scope.
