* I'd really like to discover there's a way to follow what's happening at "core level" when Perl try to satisfy a RE.
... The re pragma can give you a hint (and possibly help you understand why you regexp doesn't do what you think it does). What it does output is not necessairly easy to understand. update: To address what bunsunsl said: this feature has been avialable since perl 5.005 and tests reveal it does not require the -DDEBUGGING to have been used when perl was compiled.
