You are correct, CF uses Perl's regular expression syntax, and so do a lot of other languages. It seems that a lot of people recognize Perl's regex as one of the best implementations available (and very popular, thus well known) and I'm assuming that's why the CF developers went with it. Fortunately for me, I learned regex in Perl before I tried them in CF. :-D
