... your map qr{...} join ... irritated me a bit, because the processed list has only one element.
Yeah, that gets to me a bit too, whenever I use it. But that syntax is used in haukex's original article, so I'm willing to consider it an "idiom." :)
The important point is that the regex elements be somehow converted into a regex object. It's at this stage that any necessary boundary assertions are added. The only reasonable alternative I can see is something like
my $rx_search =
join ' | ',
map quotemeta,
reverse sort
keys %replace
;
$rx_search = qr{ ... $rx_search ... }xms;
That's slightly more irritating to me and doesn't seem to clarify anything either.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
