This is a port of the glibc gnu regex engine into perl. There are few reasons you would need this. The few I can think of include: 0) You wish to use untrusted user expressions in such a way as to be able to catch errors. Example: eval { alarm 2; m/((){1024}){1024}/ } is an instant uncatchable segmentation fault. GNU's regexps will still fail, but in a timeout way rather than an instant segfault way. 1) You wish to have POSIX compliance on ... something ... Perl's regexps are slightly different -- arguably better, but different. WWW: http://search.cpan.org/dist/POSIX-Regex/ Generated with FreeBSD Port Tools 0.77
