[complex RE snipped]

You know, it always amazes me to what length people go to come up with the
most intriguing REs for a problem that could be solved much easier with two
or three lines of very straight-forward, simple code. Why not just

use warnings; use strict;
my$text = '04/15/2005 00:01:37 G3C8F49 Results group [groups=7]: Sloan=SET
Jones=OK JBUILD1=FAIL';
my @res=(split(/ /, $text))[-3..-1];
for (@res) {s/=.*$//;}
print "@res";
