in reply to What does 'global' (/g) do in a regexp in this particular case?

As already explained, the /g remembers the position where the last match succeded in $Column. As a workaround, you can use double quotes to make the strings "not the same string": 
if (((("$Column" =~ m/Property/gs))))

    ehm, ok! But what for???

    Can't see any benefit of using /g here.

    OK at least in a loop pos works on literals...

      DB<139> print scalar "a a" =~ /a/g for 1..10   
1111111    # third iteration is undef than restart from beginning     

  DB<140> print scalar "a a" =~ /a/ for 1..10
1111111111 # infinite restart

    $Column is already a different string, DreamT has tripped /g in list context bug -- interpolation breaks aliasing/ causes copying -- jumps out of the bug

      Where is the list context? 
      perl -E '$x = "12345"; $a = $x =~ /4/g; $b = $x =~ /1/g; say "$a,$b.\n
+"'
