If none of these buffers were involved in +the match, the contents of that array ref will be as many C<undef> values +as there are capture buffers with that name. In other words, the tied hash +will behave as C<%->. + +When the C<all> parameter is omitted or false, then the tied hash elements +will be the contents of the leftmost defined buffer with the name of the +associated hash key. In other words, the tied hash will behave as +C<%+>. + +The keys of C<%->-like hashes correspond to all buffer names found in the +regular expression; the keys of C<%+>-like hashes list only the names of +buffers that have captured (and that are thus associated to defined values). + +=head1 SEE ALSO + +L<perlreapi>, L<re>, L<perlmodlib/Pragmatic Modules>, L<perlvar/"%+">, +L<perlvar/"%-">. + +=cut |
