Using x format modifier means you can put comments and whitespace in your 
regex, like:

my $replace_re = qr{^([^:\n\$]+\.c)    # This matches the filename in $1
                    \s*:\s*(?:%\s*:\ )? # somethig with a %-sign
                   ...etc...
                   }x;
Check the perlre manpage for more info.

Have a nice day,
