You must be doing something in the parts you snipped that effects
@matches. I wrote the following code:
my @matches;
my ( %params );
$params{f} = "%E %e %d";
@matches = $params{f} =~ /(%[aAbBcCdDehHIjmMnprStTuUVwWyY%])/g;
print "$params{f}\n";
print "@matches\n";
And my output was:
%E %e %d
%e %d
Looks fine to me...
