"(?: )" is the
non-capturing (or
grouping-only) parenthesis. It groups regex components, but does not capture them. And so, the regex components are not stored in variables $1, $2, $3, ... etc.
"\1" is the back-reference, or reference to an earlier parenthesized expression. Yes, its role in Perl is the same as in sed, but with certain limitations.
