in thread Perl store as variables regex matches for use outside of loop.

Yes, 1nickt, you're absolutely right, we have to be quite careful about these things nowadays. I am not dealing too often with Unicode or UTF8 data, and mostly with pure ASCII or sometimes with an extended ASCII Latin character set, so that I don't always think about the possibility of character classes matching more than I usually expect. Thank you for reminding.

Having said that, I was not presenting production code, not even a complete working program, but just trying to identify some of the errors in the OP code and show some ways to correct them.
