That works for me...
DB<1> ;{$x="blah"; $x =~ /(a)/; print $1}

What result did you get?
By the way, if you haven't already, install Bundle::CPAN. You'll get
readline support in the debugger, which will make debugging regexes in this
way much easier. You'll be able to use the arrow keys to step through the
debugger history, as in some shells.
