Works for 5.6.1 on linux-ppc. At least, it doesn't segfault. For those of us following along at home, what in the world is this: 
$re = ${['(.+)\1']}[$depth]||'(.+)(\1)';

supposed to do? It looks like you're indexing into an array consisting of the single element '(.+)\1', which will be undef for any depth > 0, meaning $re will be '(.+)(\1)'. But I'm probably missing something.
