You're quite right: not a good tweak when it's not 100% applicable.
Of course, you could still write:
my $regex = qre{ join '|', qw/foo bar/ }m =>;
but that's probably just adding insult to injury.
And, yes, I was indeed caught out by this because I no longer even think about the m or s modifiers.
Especially now that I can add a standard:
use re '/xms';
at the top of every Perl file. ;-)

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
