I have a regex which matches some text as:
$text =~ m/$regex/gcxs
Now I want to know what 'gc' modifier means:
I have searched and found that gc means "Allow continued search after failed /g match".
This is not clear to me. What does continued search means?
As far as I have understood, it means that start matching at the beginning if the /g search fails. But doesn't /g modififier matches the whole string?
