Can you provide a reproducible example of what you are attempting to do?
Also [['s =~ operator doesn't conform to PCRE by default, its an ERE expression.

Demonstrably untrue, in general.

	% var=/a/b/c/d/
	% [[ $var =~ .* ]] && typeset -p MATCH
	typeset MATCH=/a/b/c/d/
	% setopt RE_MATCH_PCRE
	% [[ $var =~ .* ]] && typeset -p MATCH
	typeset MATCH=/a/b/c/d/
