I don't think that is needed:
(1) perl -le '$re = q{\w\s\w} ; print qr/$re/'
(2) perl -le '$re = q{\\w\\s\\w} ; print qr/$re/'
(on Windows you'll need to change the outer quotes to dquotes)
Both will print: (?-xism:\w\s\w).
Try also:
perl -le 'print q{\\w\\s\\w}'
perl -le 'print q{\w\s\w}'
that both print: \w\s\w.
