Similar solution, but not with single regex:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
# https://perlmonks.org/?node_id=11148806
my $text = 'This is arbitrary just an arbitrary just example of text j
+ust arbitrary.';
@_ = qw( ju.. arb.{1,4}ary );
$text =~ m/
(?:(?:This)|(?:That))
.*? (??{ $_[ 0 ] })
.*? (??{ $_[ 1 ] })
/x and
$text =~ s/
(??{ "(*FAIL)" x ! @_ })
.*? \K ( (??{ $_[ 0 ] }) ) (?{ shift @_ })
/<<<$1>>>/gx;
print $text, "\n";
OUTPUT (excluding warnings):
This is arbitrary <<<just>>> an <<<arbitrary>>> just example of text j
+ust arbitrary.
P.S. capture group is redundant.
