The upstream changelog explains that it's been fixed:

1.61    Mon May 20 21:59:42 2013

    - Bug fix release for Perl 5.18.0
    - Tragically, perl 5.18 requires a leading "use re 'eval'"
      if you embed the program in a regex. To appease this change
      in behavior, the Regex attribute now supports three different
      "true" values:
       1: add a leading "use re 'eval';" for Perl 5.18+ only
       2: do not add a leading "use re 'eval';"
       3: add a leading "use re 'eval';"
    - Updated test suite to work with new Regex attribute
    - Updated sightly.pl to work with new Regex attribute
