Problem is your dash is a fancy unicode-y en dash, not just a simple "-" character so my naïve attempt's not matching. I had to do some monkeying with Encode cutting and pasting your sample (which I don't think you'd need for Mojo when you're actually fetching your real results) but then I was able to get this to match.
## I set $_ to your sample string cut-n-pasted, then ran it through
+decode
DB<33> $_ = Encode::decode( q{UTF-8}, $_ )
## Afterwards this worked (U+2013 is EN DASH); if you're not interes
+ted in what
## the separator was you can of course change that bit to non-captur
+ing
DB<38> x m{ ^ (\d+) \. \s+ (.*?) \s+(-|\N{EN DASH}|\N{EM DASH})\s+ (
+.*?) $}x
0 123
1 'The Quick brown fox'
2 '\x{2013}'
3 'jumped over'

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).
