And if we disregards Perl's bugs then it seems (*COMMIT) in Perl works in a following manner:

1. Backtracking can't move to the left of COMMIT (this is PCRE behaviour too) 2. If COMMIT occurs then no advance match to any other position of subject can happen. No matter there are any other backtracking control verbs occurs after COMMIT or COMMIT occurs in atomic group/negative lookaround etc (this is not implemented by PCRE)
