It appears you are trying to use perl code to modify perl code. This is not usually a safe idea (unless you really really know what you are doing). The Perl parser is very complex, and will account for more things than you are going to want to deal with in a regex.

Actually I'm grepping it in BBEdit's Find and Replace function. Will not be using it in Perl.

I am not familiar with BBEdit, but if you are not using perl... why are you asking the question at perlmonks? regex's in perl may not be the same as regex's in other languages, or other programs.
