  body: Match Reference---<tt>MatchData</tt> acts as an array, and may be accessed using the normal array indexing techniques. <em>mtch</em>[0] is equivalent to the special variable <tt>$&amp;</tt>, and returns the entire matched string. <em>mtch</em>[1], <em>mtch</em>[2], and so on return the values of the matched backreferences (portions of the pattern between parentheses).
