+New in perl 5.10 is different way of referring to capture buffers: C<\g>.
C<\g> takes a number as argument, with the number in curly braces (the
braces are optional). If the number (N) does not have a sign, it's a reference
to the Nth capture group (so C<\g{2}> is equivalent to C<\2> - except that
C<\g> always refers to a capture group and will never be seen as an octal
-escape). If the number is negative, the reference is relative, refering to

the Nth group before the C<\g{-N}>.
