I'm not actually sure what you're trying to do here, but I do know what's causing the error.
What it says right now is Match EITHER (this | that) OR (\w+) -> Any wordlike object including 'this' and 'that' and replace it with the first capture followed by the second capture. Do this globally (i.e. over and over until the whole string is changed).
The problem is, there's only ever one match. EITHER (this|that) matches, or (\w+) matches. Thus, $2 stays empty, thus uninitialized value.
while(<DATA>){for(split(' ',$_)){$_=reverse;print "$_ ";}};print "\b.\
+n";
__DATA__

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
