I don't think that is needed:

(1)  perl -le '$re = q{\w\s\w} ; print qr/$re/'

(2)  perl -le '$re = q{\\w\\s\\w} ; print qr/$re/'

(on Windows you'll need to change the outer quotes to dquotes)

Both will print: (?-xism:\w\s\w).


Try also:

  perl -le 'print q{\\w\\s\\w}'

  perl -le 'print q{\w\s\w}'

that both print: \w\s\w.
