I don't know what perl's pos does, but here.
Look at MatchData:

$ ri MatchData        
------------------------------------------------------------------------
     class: MatchData
------------------------------------------------------------------------
     MatchData is the type of the special variable $~, and is the type
     of the object returned by Regexp#match and Regexp#last_match. It
     encapsulates all the results of a pattern match, results normally
     accessed through the special variables $&, $', $`, $1, $2, and so
     on. Matchdata is also known as MatchingData.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
     [], begin, end, length, offset, post_match, pre_match, select,
     size, string, to_a, to_s
------------------------------------------------------------------------
