[Buffalo-pm] regexp returning count of pattern.

I need a way to get the count of a pattern being matched. I can make up an elaborate function to do this but I wondered if perl had something built in I could use. For example, say I have the string:

$string = 'abcdeeeeeefgheeeeijk';

I'd like to replace it with something like:

'abcdE=6fghE=4ijk'

Is there any way I can get a regexp to return the number of times that a parameter was matched?
