Vim regexes aren't great, especially if you are used to Perl ones. When you are looking for a Perly way to substitute some text in Vim, try the simple:

:perldo s/something \d+/another/

This is a good way to make sure your ranges, special chars, character classes and flags etc work the way you have come to expect from using Perl.

By default this operation works on the entire file, but you can prefix the command with line ranges like you would with a normal Vim substitution.
