m/(\d+)(a){\1}/ ??
Message ID:
Pine.OSF.4.33.0207121335180.6023-100000@alpha10.bioch.virginia.edu

$_ = "2aaa";
@d = m/(\d+)(a){\1}/;
# @d = (2, a, a);

That construct doesn't seem to work; Is there a way to get it to work?  Is
there an idiom that doesn't involve two passes, i.e. something other than:

($d) = m/(\d+)/;
@d = ($d, m/(a){$d}/);

Thanks,

-Aaron
