Subject: regex capture and assign... in one line?

Question, I've been using Ruby for a while now and I have a perlism I
kind of miss.

Given

$str = "foo123";

my ($foo,$bar) = $str =~ /(\w+)(\d+)/;

# now we have
$foo; #=> "foo"
$bar; #=> "123"

I know that I can do this in Ruby in TWO lines, but I want to do it in
ONE line. Anyone have any ideas?
