I think so.
Of course, we need group names (trivial), and group temporaries.
I needed the latter to define a generic pattern to match quoted strings:
you need to store the starting quote somewhere to find the ending quote,
but I didn't want this to have impact on the pattern as a whole. E.g.,
$qp = qr/((['"]).*?\2)/;
@a = $str =~ /$qp/g;
and have @a contain only the quoted strings, and not (also) the individual
quotes.
