16 This module is used to implement the special hashes "%+" and "%-", but
17 it can be used to tie other variables as you choose.
18
19 When the "all" parameter is provided, then the tied hash elements will
20 be array refs listing the contents of each capture buffer whose name is
21 the same as the associated hash key. If none of these buffers were
22 involved in the match, the contents of that array ref will be as many
23 "undef" values as there are capture buffers with that name. In other
24 words, the tied hash will behave as "%-".
25
26 When the "all" parameter is omitted or false, then the tied hash
27 elements will be the contents of the leftmost defined buffer with the
28 name of the associated hash key. In other words, the tied hash will
29 behave as "%+".
30
31 The keys of "%-"-like hashes correspond to all buffer names found in
32 the regular expression; the keys of "%+"-like hashes list only the
33 names of buffers that have captured (and that are thus associated to
34 defined values).
35
36 This implementation has been moved into the core executable, but you
37 can still load this module for backward compatibility.
