i've always used a different paradigm, for example:
   module T # tag matchdata indices
      MATCHED, BRA, CLOSING, TAG, DATA, SELF_CLOSING, KET, NEWLINE = 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8
   end
and then matches[A::TAG]
which allows for passing the matchdata around.

but. yes. captures is much nicer than the 'perl way' ;-)
(though perl can do the same as captures just by
 using my ($blah) = m/blah/, iirc, though it
 didn't work last time i tried)

glad it was interesting in any case ;-)

sorry for the OT ;-)
