The regexes do a lot of backtracking and stuff.
Which one? I don't see anywhere that backtracking could occur. Everything there's a choice, only one path can possibly match.
$query =~ s{
(?<![\w.+-])
[+-]?
(?:
\d+
(?:[.]\d*)?
|[.]\d+
)
(?:e[+-]?\d+)?
\b
}
{N}gx; # Float/real into N
The trailing \b is buggy.
"12345 " -> "N "
"12345. " -> "N. "
It matched "12345." until the "\b" was reached, then it backtracked to release the "." from the match. Oops, I guess there is backtracking, but only because of the bug.

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).
