Nope, Try cluster patterns , so rewrite $day,$month,$year as
$day="(?:[12]?[0-9]|30|31)";
etc

a or B, only aB's. I cannot remove inner parentheses as it
would be /(a|Ab|B)/ which is not what I want.
Is my problem clear?

How about this?
while($_ =~ /(\d{1,2}\/\d{1,2}\/\d{4})/g){
push @q,$1;
}
Perl assigns the variable $1 to the first match in parentheses. ($2 for the
next match within the same regex, and so on)
The regex above matches:
One or two digits \d{1,2}
followed by
a backslash
