[MacPerl] List with only 1 item


Hi,

Why does the MacPerl script below

$myString = 'Julia is a beautiful actress';
@myMatches =  ($myString =~ /(a.*?t)/);
print "@myMatches";

result in a list with only one item ('a is a beaut')? I'd expect more 
(for example 'act' from actress, and possibly 'aut' and 'a beaut' as 
well).

If I do the print with $1, $2 etc. I only get $1. 

Bye for now,

Bert
