What I want to do, is precompile the binary regexes and store them with Storable.

Like Randall said, this is very likely impossible in perl (though if you succeed in writing an XS module that accomplishes this please put it on CPAN (-: )

I think the best option here is to write out a perl-module that sets up your regexes and then require it.

maybe something like: 

print REGEX_MODULE_HANDLE "$REGEX{$re_name} = qr/$re_string/;";

This will likely run a bit slower, but your development time will be a LOT shorter :-)
