Hi, guys

I need to loop over a string to find some pattern A, do some
computation according to A and replace A with B. I am trying to do this
within a while loop but I have no idea how to plug s///g into this
loop. Can anyone offer some clue?

Clue: s///g _is_ a looping constuct.

Here is an example: In string 'a123ba456b', the pattern to find is
a(.*?)b and this string needs to be processed as 'a(1)ba(2)b', meaning
that the occurance of '123' is recorded and put back into the original
string.

I don't know what you mean by that.

If you want to save the matching patterns to an array and put an index
in parentheses in place of the saved string.

s/(a)(.*?)(b)/$1(@{ push @save, $2; [ scalar @save ]})$3/g;

OR

s/(a)(.*?)(b)/ push @save, $2; "$1(" . @save . ")$3" /eg;

.
