Possessive quantification is supported in much earlier versions
of Perl, it’s just more awkward syntactically:

    /^To:(?>\s*)(.+)\s*\nCc:/ism

But possessification is not going to make a difference in this
regex, since .+ can match anything that \s* can also match, so
the only difference is that if the regex does happen to
backtrack, it will backtrack over all the spaces after the To:
at once instead of one at a time.

I have only just subscribed so I do not have enough context to
know what the problem is, but based on what I have seen so far it
seems to me that all you want is simply

    /^To:\s?(.+)\s*\nCc:/ism

although I have to wonder if the /s modifier here is really what
you want.


That is correct.
