I've got two issues:

Actually, you have only one issue with 2 symptoms. Both symptoms are because you are not capturing the results of the match. Use brackets to do that. eg:

$ perl -we '$regex = qr/foo/; print "$regex: $1\n" while "foob" =~ /$r
+egex/g;'
Use of uninitialized value $1 in concatenation (.) or string at -e lin
+e 1.
(?^:foo): 
$ perl -we '$regex = qr/(foo)/; print "$regex: $1\n" while "foob" =~ /
+$regex/g;'
(?^:(foo)): foo
