Description paul stanton 2002-07-12 00:03:42 UTC 
Hi. This is not a bug. just wondering if there is a way to set the Perl5Matcher 
to find the shortest possible match to an expression rather then the longest.
eg:
if have a string acbdb and an expression a(.*)b
the match i get is obviously acbdb and not acb. 

is there a way to configure one of the objects to do what i want or do i have 
to use a[^b]*b?
