Subject: embedded code construct a la perl

Hi all,

Is it possible to use embedded-code constructs in ruby regexp?

Perl Example:

<code>

"123"= ~ m{
\d+
(?{print "matched at [$'<$&>$']\n"})
(?!)
}x;

</code>

Output:

matched at [<123>]
matched at [<12>3]
matched at [<1>23]
matched at [1<23>]
matched at [1<2>3]
matched at [12<3>]



Thanks for the help
