Does this find all non-trivial palindrome phrases on each input line?

Does it fail on some interesting input? 

#!/your/perl/here

# find all palindrome phrases on each line
#     only phrases of two or more alpha
#     a phrase starts and ends on a word boundary
#
# nested palindrome phrases will also be found
# (including single words)

BTW, if '(?!)' is changed to (?!) (no single quotes), I get a "panic: top_env" from the compiler. Is this a known bug?
