It seems to miss cases like:
$foo ->[2]; # Space before or after ->
print $_->{bar}; # Only two non-space chars before ->
$sum += $_->[0] for @array; # Only three non-space chars after ->
And since you aren't using warnings, you don't get a warning if you try to print an undefined $1.
OTOH, it would find a deref in:
perl -ne '/(\S{3,80}->\S{5,80})/;print $1,"\n"'
Don't tell me you never write code like that!
But I'm baffled by the fact you're searching for '->' when you need to figure out which hashes are in some code.

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).
