Do you have a good set of test cases ? 

#!/usr/bin/perl

# http://perlmonks.org/?node_id=1144184

use strict;
use warnings;

sub e
  {
  /\Guc*/gc or return 0;                     # rule 1. & 5.
  /\Ga/gc and return e();                    # rule 2.
  /\Gc+/gc;                                  # rule 5.
  /\Gd/gc and return e() && /\Gf/gc && e();  # rule 3.
  /\Gb/gc and return e();                    # rule 4.
  return 1;
  }
  
for (qw( u udufu uau uu uc ubu ucbuc uaau ua uauau uccc ))
  {
  print e() && /\G\z/ ? "matches" : "   fail", "  $_\n";
  }

outputs:

matches  u
matches  udufu
matches  uau
   fail  uu
matches  uc
matches  ubu
matches  ucbuc
   fail  uaau
   fail  ua
matches  uauau
matches  uccc

Which of these is wrong, if any? Let's keep tweaking until it works :)
