[Bioperl-l] module for pattern matching

[gowthaman ramasamy]

hello list,
i would like to know if there is any module for the following purpose.

using perl i want to capture the multiple occurrence of a pattern (reg
exp) ,which i can do by following line.
@array1 = $string =~ m/..../;
But how can i get the position of all the occurrences of pattern?. If i
have 10 matches, i want not only the matches but also their positions. 
Any help will be appreciated.
