I'm trying to understand the use of $1 in Perl programming. I've seen it in some code snippets but I'm not sure what it represents or how it's typically used. Can someone explain its purpose and give an example?

In Perl programming, a unique feature allows for referencing strings matched by specific parts of a regular expression.

This referencing is done through the use of the dollar sign followed by a number, denoted as $n. The number corresponds to the position of the opening parenthesis in the regular expression.

For instance, if a regular expression contains parenthesized sections, each left parenthesis is counted sequentially. The first left parenthesis encountered would be referred to as the first opening parenthesis.

Consequently, the string matched by the first parenthesized part of the regular expression can be accessed using $1. This is particularly useful for extracting specific parts of a string based on patterns.
