Perl's regular expression engine is a very modified version of
POSIX regexes, to the point where Perl's regexes are not
compatible with any other regexes[1]. Take a look at Jeffrey
Friedl'a "Mastering Regular Expressions" for more details.

library, written by Philip Hazel (the guy wrote wrote Exim),
at <URL:http://www.pcre.org/>.
