I would like single regex as, as was pointed out, the double regex is wasteful since the matching has to be done twice. Also I think it would be better from readability point of view :).
However you example
1 while s/(?<=\+)([0-9]+)[$bases]/$1 - 1/eg; doesn't quite work. I'm trying to remove all the numbers and the associated bases for it. Running yours left strange things in it (+-1 and +0 below).
..G..C...G.,,,...G,G,G...G,G...GG,.G.G...G.G.....G..G,........G....,GG
+GG.,,,..G...,,.G.G..G..G..G.G.GG..GG.G..,,G,
,CG,G,GG..GG.G.GGGG,,..GG...G.,G.GG.,G,G....,,.GGGGGG.GCG..G,,G,.G..G,
+,,G,.GGGG.,..G...,,,,G,,G..GGGGA.,,,,,.+-1.G.,,G,.
..G..GG,.G....+0..GG..G,,G,,G.G,,.,,,.,,.CG.,,,,.,..G.,,,.,.,,GGGGGG,,
+.....G..GGGGG.,.G,,GG.G..GG,,,....,.,..,G.,.,,,.,,
,,G,,,.,.,..,.,,,...GG,.,G.,G......,,,..,,........,..,.,,.,...,,..,.,C
+,..,,,.,,,,,....,,..,,,.,.....,.,,.,...,,.,,,-1a.,,,,,.,,,,,,..,.....
+.....,,,,,.,...,,.,,,.,,.,,,,,,
Edit: I think adding
/c in the match pattern should fix the problem with my while and possibly the
(??{...}) version as well?

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).
