The name DEBUG_REGEX is made up, and can be anything (note the test of $ENV{DEBUG_REGEX} in the code).
How about:
my $re1 = qr/a/;
my $re2 = do { use if $ENV{FOO_DEBUG_REGEX},
qw/re Debug EXECUTE/; qr/b/ };
my $re3 = qr/c/;
my $str = "ab";
$str =~ $re1;
$str =~ $re2;
$str =~ $re3;
will output run-time debug info on $re2 only when the environment var FOO_DEBUG_REGEX is set.
I'm not sure if this can be done dynamically in the debugger, perhaps another monk with more experience there can help. The documentation does say that use re 'debug'; has both compile-time and run-time effects.

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).
