+1. You need to give a global variable a temporary value, especially $_, 2.
+You need to create a local file or directory handle or a local function, 3.
+You want to temporarily change just one element of an array or hash

-\d is a digit and represents [0-9], \s is a whitespace character and
-represents [\ \t\r\n\f], \w is a word character (alphanumeric or _) and
-represents [0-9a-zA-Z_], \D is a negated \d; it represents any character
-but a digit [^0-9], \S is a negated \s; it represents any non-whitespace
-character [^\s], \W is a negated \w; it represents any non-word character
-[^\w], The period '.' matches any character but "\n", no modifiers (//):
-Default behavior. C<'.'> matches any character except C<"\n">. C<^>
-matches only at the beginning of the string and C<$> matches only at the
-end or before a newline at the end, s modifier (//s): Treat string as a
-single long line. C<'.'> matches any character, even C<"\n">. C<^>
-matches only at the beginning of the string and C<$> matches only at the
-end or before a newline at the end, m modifier (//m): Treat string as a set
-of multiple lines. C<'.'> matches any character except C<"\n">. C<^> and
-C<$> are able to match at the start or end of I<any> line within the
-string, both s and m modifiers (//sm): Treat string as a single long line,
-but detect multiple lines. C<'.'> matches any character, even C<"\n">.
-C<^> and C<$>, however, are able to match at the start or end of I<any>
-line within the string

+=item Embedding Pods in Perl Modules
-0 Start with the first letter in the string 'a', 1 Try the first
-alternative in the first group 'abd', 2 Match 'a' followed by 'b'. So far
-so good, 3 'd' in the regexp doesn't match 'c' in the string - a dead end.
-So backtrack two characters and pick the second alternative in the first
-group 'abc', 4 Match 'a' followed by 'b' followed by 'c'. We are on a roll
-and have satisfied the first group. Set $1 to 'abc', 5 Move on to the
-second group and pick the first alternative 'df', 6 Match the 'd', 7 'f' in
-the regexp doesn't match 'e' in the string, so a dead end. Backtrack one
-character and pick the second alternative in the second group 'd', 8 'd'
-matches. The second grouping is satisfied, so set $2 to 'd', 9 We are at
-the end of the regexp, so we are done! We have matched 'abcd' out of the
-string "abcde"

-C<a?> = match 'a' 1 or 0 times, C<a*> = match 'a' 0 or more times, i.e.,
-any number of times, C<a+> = match 'a' 1 or more times, i.e., at least
-once, C<a{n,m}> = match at least C<n> times, but not more than C<m> times,
-C<a{n,}> = match at least C<n> or more times, C<a{n}> = match exactly C<n>
-times, Principle 0: Taken as a whole, any regexp will be matched at the
-earliest possible position in the string, Principle 1: In an alternation
-C<a|b|c...>, the leftmost alternative that allows a match for the whole
-regexp will be the one used, Principle 2: The maximal matching quantifiers
-C<?>, C<*>, C<+> and C<{n,m}> will in general match as much of the string
-as possible while still allowing the whole regexp to match, Principle 3: If
-there are two or more elements in a regexp, the leftmost greedy quantifier,
-if any, will match as much of the string as possible while still allowing
-the whole regexp to match. The next leftmost greedy quantifier, if any,
-will try to match as much of the string remaining available to it as
-possible, while still allowing the whole regexp to match. And so on, until
-all the regexp elements are satisfied, C<a??> = match 'a' 0 or 1 times. Try
-0 first, then 1, C<a*?> = match 'a' 0 or more times, i.e., any number of
-times, but as few times as possible, C<a+?> = match 'a' 1 or more times,
-i.e., at least once, but as few times as possible, C<a{n,m}?> = match at
-least C<n> times, not more than C<m> times, as few times as possible,
-C<a{n,}?> = match at least C<n> times, but as few times as possible,
-C<a{n}?> = match exactly C<n> times. Because we match exactly C<n> times,
-C<a{n}?> is equivalent to C<a{n}> and is just there for notational
-consistency, Principle 3: If there are two or more elements in a regexp,
-the leftmost greedy (non-greedy) quantifier, if any, will match as much
-(little) of the string as possible while still allowing the whole regexp to
-match. The next leftmost greedy (non-greedy) quantifier, if any, will try
-to match as much (little) of the string remaining available to it as
-possible, while still allowing the whole regexp to match. And so on, until
-all the regexp elements are satisfied, 0 Start with the first letter in the
-string 't', 1 The first quantifier '.*' starts out by matching the whole
-string 'the cat in the hat', 2 'a' in the regexp element 'at' doesn't match
-the end of the string. Backtrack one character, 3 'a' in the regexp
-element 'at' still doesn't match the last letter of the string 't', so
-backtrack one more character, 4 Now we can match the 'a' and the 't', 5
-Move on to the third element '.*'. Since we are at the end of the string
-and '.*' can match 0 times, assign it the empty string, 6 We are done!

+\d is a digit and represents [0-9], \s is a whitespace character and
+represents [\ \t\r\n\f], \w is a word character (alphanumeric or _) and
+represents [0-9a-zA-Z_], \D is a negated \d; it represents any character
+but a digit [^0-9], \S is a negated \s; it represents any non-whitespace
+character [^\s], \W is a negated \w; it represents any non-word character
+[^\w], The period '.' matches any character but "\n", no modifiers (//):
+Default behavior. C<'.'> matches any character except C<"\n">. C<^>
+matches only at the beginning of the string and C<$> matches only at the
+end or before a newline at the end, s modifier (//s): Treat string as a
+single long line. C<'.'> matches any character, even C<"\n">. C<^>
+matches only at the beginning of the string and C<$> matches only at the
+end or before a newline at the end, m modifier (//m): Treat string as a set
+of multiple lines. C<'.'> matches any character except C<"\n">. C<^> and
+C<$> are able to match at the start or end of I<any> line within the
+string, both s and m modifiers (//sm): Treat string as a single long line,
+but detect multiple lines. C<'.'> matches any character, even C<"\n">.
+C<^> and C<$>, however, are able to match at the start or end of I<any>
+line within the string

+=item Grouping things and hierarchical matching
-=over
+0 Start with the first letter in the string 'a', 1 Try the first
+alternative in the first group 'abd', 2 Match 'a' followed by 'b'. So far
+so good, 3 'd' in the regexp doesn't match 'c' in the string - a dead end.
+So backtrack two characters and pick the second alternative in the first
+group 'abc', 4 Match 'a' followed by 'b' followed by 'c'. We are on a roll
+and have satisfied the first group. Set $1 to 'abc', 5 Move on to the
+second group and pick the first alternative 'df', 6 Match the 'd', 7 'f' in
+the regexp doesn't match 'e' in the string, so a dead end. Backtrack one
+character and pick the second alternative in the second group 'd', 8 'd'
+matches. The second grouping is satisfied, so set $2 to 'd', 9 We are at
+the end of the regexp, so we are done! We have matched 'abcd' out of the
+string "abcde"
-=item SYNOPSIS
+=item Extracting matches
-=item DESCRIPTION
+=item Matching repetitions
-=over
+C<a?> = match 'a' 1 or 0 times, C<a*> = match 'a' 0 or more times, i.e.,
+any number of times, C<a+> = match 'a' 1 or more times, i.e., at least
+once, C<a{n,m}> = match at least C<n> times, but not more than C<m> times,
+C<a{n,}> = match at least C<n> or more times, C<a{n}> = match exactly C<n>
+times, Principle 0: Taken as a whole, any regexp will be matched at the
+earliest possible position in the string, Principle 1: In an alternation
+C<a|b|c...>, the leftmost alternative that allows a match for the whole
+regexp will be the one used, Principle 2: The maximal matching quantifiers
+C<?>, C<*>, C<+> and C<{n,m}> will in general match as much of the string
+as possible while still allowing the whole regexp to match, Principle 3: If
+there are two or more elements in a regexp, the leftmost greedy quantifier,
+if any, will match as much of the string as possible while still allowing
+the whole regexp to match. The next leftmost greedy quantifier, if any,
+will try to match as much of the string remaining available to it as
+possible, while still allowing the whole regexp to match. And so on, until
+all the regexp elements are satisfied, C<a??> = match 'a' 0 or 1 times. Try
+0 first, then 1, C<a*?> = match 'a' 0 or more times, i.e., any number of
+times, but as few times as possible, C<a+?> = match 'a' 1 or more times,
+i.e., at least once, but as few times as possible, C<a{n,m}?> = match at
+least C<n> times, not more than C<m> times, as few times as possible,
+C<a{n,}?> = match at least C<n> times, but as few times as possible,
+C<a{n}?> = match exactly C<n> times. Because we match exactly C<n> times,
+C<a{n}?> is equivalent to C<a{n}> and is just there for notational
+consistency, Principle 3: If there are two or more elements in a regexp,
+the leftmost greedy (non-greedy) quantifier, if any, will match as much
+(little) of the string as possible while still allowing the whole regexp to
+match. The next leftmost greedy (non-greedy) quantifier, if any, will try
+to match as much (little) of the string remaining available to it as
+possible, while still allowing the whole regexp to match. And so on, until
+all the regexp elements are satisfied, 0 Start with the first letter in the
+string 't', 1 The first quantifier '.*' starts out by matching the whole
+string 'the cat in the hat', 2 'a' in the regexp element 'at' doesn't match
+the end of the string. Backtrack one character, 3 'a' in the regexp
+element 'at' still doesn't match the last letter of the string 't', so
+backtrack one more character, 4 Now we can match the 'a' and the 't', 5
+Move on to the third element '.*'. Since we are at the end of the string
+and '.*' can match 0 times, assign it the empty string, 6 We are done!
