\g is the start of a regex special meaning, referenced in perlreref:

Well, I now realize that a big part of my diagnostic problem was that I failed to recognize \g as referring to a capture group. This syntax has been in Perl for some time now but I never had occasion to use it and hence was blissfully unaware of it. I was also confusing it with the /g qualifier. Thank you very much.

... \g ... referring to a capture group.

Added (along with much other neat regex stuff) in Perl version 5.10. Please see Character Classes and other Special Escapes in perlre.
