Fix - This works for subgroups in the same match. for the /g option,
there's a "\G" special regex assertion that matches right aftwer the
last successful match. So I guess you could do something like:

while (/\G(Ab)/g) {
	print "Match: " . $i++;
	print "Subgroups: " . @-;
	# ... etc
}

perl -e'$b=unpack"b*",pack"H*","59dfce2d6b1664d3b26cd9969503";
for(;$a<length$b;$a+=9){print+pack"b8",substr$b,$a,8;}'
