You can't concatenate regexp the way you did, but you can look for repetitions. Since you're looking for matching parenthesis, you need non-greedy quantifiers. I would use something of this sort (unless you have a specific reason to concatenate them as you did):
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
my $test = "I am here {there} and {everywhere} but not below and above
+";
print "$test\n";
$_ = $test;
if (/\{(.*?)\}(.*)\{(.*?)\}/) {
print "Success $1 $3\n";
}

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).
