If you want to do substitutions with interpolations, you should use the
POSIX-style substitutions that ORO supports.
...
if (matcher.contains(text, pattern)) {
result = matcher.getMatch();
temp = result.toString();
question = temp.substring(result.begin(1), result.end(1));
}
...
That will get you the matched string. When you use perenthesis in your
regex, you will have a list of matches for each call. It's all in the doc.
The Perl 5 idioms are inherently not very portable so you shouldn't rely on
them.
