Or in other words, what is the reason $1 is not set to (?:!\[CDATA\[) even though that is the first expression inside parenthesis?

XML::LibXML::CDATASection(3)				User Contributed Perl Documentation			      XML::LibXML::CDATASection(3)

NAME
XML::LibXML::CDATASection - XML::LibXML Class for CDATA Sections SYNOPSIS
use XML::LibXML; # Only methods specific to CDATA nodes are listed here, # see XML::LibXML::Node manpage for other methods $node = XML::LibXML::CDATASection->new( $content ); DESCRIPTION
This class provides all functions of XML::LibXML::Text, but for CDATA nodes. METHODS
The class inherits from XML::LibXML::Node. The documentation for Inherited methods is not listed here. Many functions listed here are extensively documented in the DOM Level 3 specification (<http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-3-Core/>). Please refer to the specification for extensive documentation. new $node = XML::LibXML::CDATASection->new( $content ); The constructor is the only provided function for this package. It is required, because libxml2 treats the different text node types slightly differently. AUTHORS
