You really had me worried for a time there - you are passing regex compile
flags to the match flags (they are different things) you should use:

int main(void)
{
    boost::regex e(".*Test.*", FLAGS);
    boost::cmatch m;

    if(regex_match("A Test", m, e))
    {
       cout << "matched \"A Test\"" << endl;
    }
    if(regex_match("Testing 123", m, e))
    {
       cout << "matched \"Testing 123\"" << endl;
    }
    if(regex_match("foo", m, e))
    {
       cout << "matched \"foo\"" << endl;
    }
    return(true);
}
