$1 is a perl variable
perldoc perlvar
$<digits>
Contains the subpattern from the corresponding set of capturing
parentheses from the last pattern match, not counting patterns
matched in nested blocks that have been exited already.
(Mnemonic: like \digits.) These variables are all read-only
and dynamically scoped to the current BLOCK.
