title: perl regex matching vowels and consonants
body: <p>I want a regular expression to match a word that has at least 3 vowels in it that are separated by consonants. For example a words like <em>general and overflow</em> would match. The following is what I came up with but it is not working. </p>
  
  <pre><code>    / ([^aeiou])([aeiou])\g1\g2\g1\g2\w*/
  </code></pre>
