You can do it slightly differently by putting the regex modifier(s) inside the regex:
use strict;
use warnings;
my $opts = "io";
my $regex = "test";
while (<DATA>) {
my $line = $_;
print $line if $line =~ /(?$opts)\Q$regex\E/;
}
__DATA__
untested
unknown
Note that this reveals a slight problem - I can't find your 'o' modifier in the docs. Note also that I have wrapped the regex itself in \Q\E to prevent problems if it contains metacharacters.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
