Hrm, why not:
s/(_)/++$c > $count && $1/ge;
since it's DOCUMENTED that > returns '' for false.

Hi gurus!
I want to use the quantifier {COUNT}? in the following program to remove the first
three underscores. I'm trying to avoid a loop. I have not been able to figure out the
syntax.
$a = "The_quick_brown_fox_jumped_over_the_lazy_dog.";
$count = "3";
$a =~ s/(_{$count}?)//;
print "\n$a\n
