    Here's two different ways:

    One way is that you could capture the character class match with parens, and then refer to it (in this case) as $2. 
    /it (.*)([.?,])$/i and print $1, $2, $/;

    Another way would be to simply move the character class to be inside the existing capturing parens: 
    /it (.*[.?,])$/i and print $1, $/;
