Perhaps you need to copy the value to a temporary, and repeat that.

values cannot be returned in subroutines used in lvalue context. See
L<perlsub/"Lvalue subroutines">.
+=item Lookbehind longer than %d not implemented at <HERE< in reges m/%s/

Note, however, that the minimal matching quantifiers, C<*?>, C<+?>, and
C<??> appear to be nested quantifiers, but aren't. See L<perlre>.
+
=item %s never introduced
(S internal) The symbol in question was declared but somehow went out of
process which isn't a subprocess of the current process. While this is
fine from VMS' perspective, it's probably not what you intended.

-=item Quantifier follows nothing in rgexp
+=item Quantifier unexpected on zero-length expression at <HERE< in regex m/%s/
-(F) Quantifiers like * are suffixes, they quantify something preceding them.
+(W regexp) You applied a regular expression quantifier in a place where
+it makes no sense, such as on a zero-width assertion. Try putting the
+quantifier inside the assertion instead. For example, the way to match
+"abc" provided that it is followed by three repetitions of "xyz" is
+C</abc(?=(?:xyz){3})/>, not C</abc(?=xyz){3}/>.

(W internal) The internal sv_replace() function was handed a new SV with
a reference count of other than 1.

+(F) You used something like C<\7> in your regular expression, but there are
+not at least seven sets of capturing parentheses in the expression. If you
+wanted to have the character with value 7 inserted into the regular expression,
+prepend a zero to make the number at least two digits: C<\07>
-(F) In a regexp you tried to reference (\1, \2, ...) a group that
-doesn't exist. Count your parentheses.

was either never opened or has since been closed.
-=item Strange *+?{} on zero-length expression
-
-(W regexp) You applied a regular expression quantifier in a place where
-it makes no sense, such as on a zero-width assertion. Try putting the
-quantifier inside the assertion instead. For example, the way to match
-"abc" provided that it is followed by three repetitions of "xyz" is

(P) Overloading resolution over @ISA tree may be broken by importation
(F) Your Perl was compiled with B<-D>SETUID_SCRIPTS_ARE_SECURE_NOW, but
a version of the setuid emulator somehow got run anyway.
+=item Switch (?(condition)... contains too many branches at <HERE< in regex m/%s/
+
+(F) A (?(condition)if-clause|else-clause) construct can have at most two
+branches (the if-clause and the else-clause). If you want one or both to
+contain alternation, such as using C<this|that|other>, enclose it in

(F) There are no byte-swapping functions for a machine with this byte
order.
+=item Unknown switch condition (?(%.2s at <HERE< in regex m/%s/
+
+(F) The condition of a (?(condition)if-clause|else-clause) construct is not
+known. The condition may be lookaround (the condition is true if the
+lookaround is true), a (?{...}) construct (the condition is true if the
+code evaluates to a true value), or a number (the condition is true if the
+set of capturing parentheses named by the number is defined).
