The various extract_... subroutines may be used to extract a delimited substring, possibly after skipping a specified prefix string. By default, that prefix is optional whitespace (/\s*/), but you can change it to whatever you wish (see below). The substring to be extracted must appear at the current pos location of the string's variable (or at index zero, if no pos position is defined). In other words, the extract_... subroutines don't extract the first occurance of a substring anywhere in a string (like an unanchored regex would). Rather, they extract an occurance of the substring appearing immediately at the current matching position in the string (like a \G-anchored regex would).
