I don't know how regexes work in perl, but the thing is that
@ANY_VERSION@ already contains ( ), so you are effectively duplicating
them. From your log:
v((?:[-_]?v?(\d[\-+\.:\~\da-zA-Z]*)))
So I wouldn't be surprised that those brackets where causing some double
capturing or something similar, or at least this would be my
speculation.
BTW, @ANY_VERSION@ also already contains a v? in there, so you can do
away with your own.
