Regular expressions

[David Welton <davidw@gate.cks.com>]

Hello, I noticed this on freshmeat.net, and thought I'd mention it
here - in regards to your discussion on regular expressions.  My
apologies if it is irrelevant to the specific issues at hand.

"PCRE implements a regular expression matching engine that's
compatible with Perl 5.004's syntax. It can be used to add regular
expression support to stand-alone applications without either
embedding an entire Perl interpreter in the application, or settling
for the more limited regular expressions included in libc."

Ciao,
