I'm lost with this question, but try to run:
print("abcd" =~ /(b.)/)
Is this what you need?

Subject: Regex against a scalar
Hi.
I would like to search a scalar variable and have the output to another
scalar. For example:
$test = "This is some test data";
I want another scalar, $regex to hold the output of a regular expression
lookup against $test.
So something like this:
$regex =~ /test/ running against $test. Is this possible somehow?
