<p>I am attempting to change my previously greedy quantification into a possessive modality.</p>
<p>My regex is: <code>/(\d++\.\d++)($meanSearchTerm)/oi</code></p>
<p>Perl complains thusly:
<code>Nested quantifiers in regex; marked by <-- HERE in m/([\d]++ <-- HERE \.[\d]++)( bits = mean)/ at ScanGenome.pl line 326, <RIBL> line 1.</code></p>
<p>I would like to resolve this without further capturing (so no additional parens).</p>
<p>Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.</p>
