This seems very complicated. Did you look at the Ram:6 recipe on
expressing AND, OR, and NOT in a regex? For example, to do
/FOO/ && /BAR/ you need not write /FOO.*BAR|BAR.*FOO/ -- and in
fact, should not, as it doesn't work properly on some pairs!
For example, /CAN/ && /ANAL/ can't be written /CAN.*ANAL|ANAL.*CAN/
of you expect to match "CANAL". Overlaps bite you. You really
need /(?=.*CAN)(?=.*ANAL)/ instead, which permits multiple assertions.
Please check out the recipe I'm talking about.
