Hi John
There are various alternatives for YAPE::Regex::Explain
Could you give us a sample regex and tell us where and how it fails?

not sure about that, but the supported character classes are listed in the head of the module's source.
does this help?
my $valid_POSIX = qr{
alpha | alnum | ascii | cntrl | digit | graph |
lower | print | punct | space | upper | word | xdigit
}x;
...
my %macros = (
# utf8/POSIX macros
alpha => 'letters',
alnum => 'letters and digits',
ascii => 'all ASCII characters (\000 - \177)',
cntrl => 'control characters (those with ASCII values less than 32)'
+,
digit => 'digits (like \d)',
graph => 'alphanumeric and punctuation characters',
lower => 'lowercase letters',
print => 'alphanumeric, punctuation, and whitespace characters',
punct => 'punctuation characters',
space => 'whitespace characters (like \s)',
upper => 'uppercase letters',
word => 'alphanumeric and underscore characters (like \w)',
xdigit => 'hexadecimal digits (a-f, A-F, 0-9)',
);
