Following the logic above it will match all single letters in the
string,
no?
No, because of the trailing $.
The original expression had trailing $ as well but it didn't help much,
did it?
So what's the verdict, is this a bug or a feature?
Feature. Perl has the same behavior:

   $str = 'test.cidl';
   $str =~ s/(\.(idl|cidl|cdl))?$/E.idl/g;
   print "$str\n";

... prints:

   testE.idlE.idl
