as expected the first approach was buggy.

This approach seems to pass the tests (using 1 for 0 to test more edge cases)

Hint: Anchoring is tricky when dealing with variable length strings and look-aheads.

use v5.14;
use warnings;

say "INPUT: ",my $str = join " ", 0 ..34;
my %DONT;
@DONT{1, 15, 16, 31}=();

my $stop=15;

my $donts = join "|", keys %DONT;
say my $dont_re = "(?!(?:$donts)\\b)";

  
while ( $str =~ m/\b$dont_re(\d+) \b$dont_re(\d+)/g ) {
  say "$1 $2";
  die unless $stop--;
  exists $DONT{$_} and die "$_ forbidden" for $1,$2;
}

UPDATE

had to improve the rexex again... :/

Probably a negative-look-behind is easier and faster.
