	First, thank you but read on, please.
	I couldn't agree more.  That should do it but when I
don't escape them, I get:

Nested quantifiers in regex; marked by <-- HERE in m//^\d+{ <-- HERE 3,}// at ./regex line 10.

I thought it was odd at the time because old code snippets I have
here plus examples I read on line all show un escaped meta characters.
