[Pdx-pm] anonymous (?) regex use

I'm trying to build a regex on the fly and then search an array:

  #!/usr/bin/perl -Tw

  @group = qw ( foo bar baz fuz mlr );
  $regex = "/fu/";

  @found = grep {$regex} @group;

  foreach (@found) {
    print "$_\n";
  }

but this populates @found with all members of @group.
When I change the grep line to:
  @found = grep {/fu/} @group;
then @found is populated with one element, fuz.

Cluestick anyone?
