Just a guess, but the delta for 5.20 includes this entry: Executing a regex that contains the ^ anchor (or its variant under the /m flag) has been made much faster in several situations. https://metacpan.org/pod/release/RJBS/perl-5.20.0/pod/perldelta.pod#Performance-Enhancements Maybe that enhancement has some side effects triggered by the \s* ^ \s* patterns in the regexps. Are you able to test what happens in pre-5.20 if these patterns are changed to \s*? Edit - I should have asked for what happens either side of 5.20.
