Bear in mind that some regexp modifiers are mutually exclusive; for example /a which imposes ASCII semantics on the string being matches, and /l which imposes locale semantics on it. Thus s/foo/bar/miracles is a compile time error.

Here's a quick script to find allowable words...

#!/usr/bin/env perl

use v5.18;
open my $dict, "<", "/usr/share/dict/words";

while (<$dict>)
{
    next unless /^[msixpodualgcer]+$/;
    chomp;
    
    my $ok = do {
        my $testing = $_;
        local $_; # protection
        eval "s/foo/bar/$testing; 1";
    };
    
    say if $ok;
}

I rather like these ones:

Now to find a way to patch B::Deparse...

package Cow { use Moo; has name => (is => 'lazy', default => sub { 'Mooington' }) } say Cow->new->name
