Your second regex works,

I'm not seeing that:

use strict;
use warnings;
use 5.010;

#      0    5   10   15   20   25   30   35
#      '    '    '    '    '    '    '    '
$_ = q{....fred1....fred2...fred3....fred4..};

while (/fred(?(?{ pos % 4 != 0 })(?!))(....)/sg) {

}

--output:--
Use of uninitialized value in numeric ne (!=) at (re_eval 1) line 1.
Use of uninitialized value in numeric ne (!=) at (re_eval 1) line 1.

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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
