matching multi occurrences or nothing

Hi there Perl folks,


Okay I am trying to figure this out.

I am trying to match the following:


$line = "blah&blah&blah"


so I have the following line to match that

$line =~ /((?:blah).*?){0,5}/;
But I want to capture "blah" in a variable like
$capture = $1;

or something like that?

am I on the right track?

Cheers,

Noah
