in thread Reusing a complex regexp in multiple spots, escaping the regexp

Thanks for the better example!

Does this double execution also effect officially embedded (?{CODE}) ?

Shouldn't this be just documented with /o or (in a better world) even better emitting a warning?

I'm using side effects in regexes mainly for debugging.

On a tangent: My system Perl seems to be with thread support, I dunno how often Perl is even installed or used without thread support.
