That doesn't look right. Why is that question mark inside parentheses?
If Perl doesn't complain about that pattern, maybe it should.

According to programming perl the (?) is a way to cloister my regex
saying do not capture the match. I meant to type /(?:)pattern/ or to
ignore case /(?i)pattern/
Now that I have explained any ideas?
Thank you
