I have found the following on-line tool useful for debugging regular expressions. The regular expression is applied to the content of the text box so you get feedback on what is being matched by each part of the expression.
http://gskinner.com/RegExr/ To quote from the description of the tool "RegExr is built with Flex 3, and uses ActionScript 3's built in RegExp engine.". Thus, it is almost certain that there are differences in the regular expression syntax for Flex 3 and Perl.
