Perl Named Captured Group

Question

I have created two named capture variables in the regex and the second one doesn\'t seem to return any value while the first one can. I am not sure why..here is the code.

You probably mean:

my $string = 'test [google] another test [windows]';

if( $string =~ /.*?\[(?<firstBracket>\w+)\].*?\[(?<secondBracket>\w+)\]/i ) {
        say $+{firstBracket};
        say $+{secondBracket};
}

output

google
windows

or

my $re = qr/.*?\[(?<firstBracket>\w+)\].*?\[(?<secondBracket>\w+)\]/i;
if( $string =~ $re ) {
    ...
}

with same output...
