Well my example problem is just an example that represents the basic problem. I don't have any foreknowledge of the regexes that will be used, because they're all generated dynamically from user input that's supposed to be as general as possible. I'm sure that most of the time I'd be safe with reshaping the regexes like this:
my @vars;
/ (?: (\d) (?{ push @{ $vars[1] }, $1 })
\w )+
\d\w/x;
But I want things to work under all possible cases. That's basically where things stand: I don't have a concrete example where it's necessary, but I don't want to not work when that situation comes up. I'll either try to live with the speed I have, (de|re)structure everything, or roll my own finite state machine.

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).
