With the following code when printing I get the following output. I am thinking I am doing something wrong with the following in storing regex matches, but not sure.

my @patterns = ( qr/Record contentId\=\"\d+\"/ );

(?-xism:Record contentId\=\"\d+\")
(?-xism:Record contentId\=\"\d+\")
(?-xism:Record contentId\=\"\d+\")
(?-xism:Record contentId\=\"\d+\")
(?-xism:Record contentId\=\"\d+\")
(?-xism:Record contentId\=\"\d+\")
(?-xism:Record contentId\=\"\d+\")
(?-xism:Record contentId\=\"\d+\")
(?-xism:Record contentId\=\"\d+\")
(?-xism:Record contentId\=\"\d+\")
(?-xism:Record contentId\=\"\d+\")
(?-xism:Record contentId\=\"\d+\")
