in thread Splitting string using two overlapping patterns

print "$1\n" while $line=~s/(\w+\s+\w+|\w+)[}|\s+|\s+{]//;

Metacharacters like  | are not meta-special in a character class, so  [}|\s+|\s+{] from the quoted regex is equivalent, with the pipe metacharacter explicitly escaped (for clarity), to  [\s{}\|] or, less verbosely, to the  [\s{}|] class. (In other words, there's no alternation in a character class.)
