Perl Programming/Keywords/pos

The pos keyword

pos returns the offset of the last m//g search left off for the variable in question. If no variable is passed, $_ is used instead. 0 is a valid match offset. An undef indicates that the search position is reset. This may occur due to a match failure or no match has yet been run on this scalar.
