Vim - How to run a non normal mode command in all buffers?

I need to run this command :perldo s/assigned_to(?!_member|_role)/assigned_to_member/g in all open buffers. I'm using :perldo because the builtin vim regex (i.e. %s/foo/bar/g) isn't working with my negative lookahead for some reason.

Through my research I've found the :bufdo and :execute "normal <foo>" commands but I haven't yet figured out how to combine them.

Does anyone know how I would be able to run the perldo command on all my open buffers? Thanks!

What's wrong with:

:bufdo! perldo s/assigned_to(?!_member|_role)/assigned_to_member/g
