Out of interest, why wouldn't you like it replacing Perl's built-in engine?

As far as I know (although I haven't benchmarked), Perl's regex engine is faster. If it's not, PCRE may as well replace Perl's own regex engine, when UTF8 is fixed :) Then we'd have Perl with a Regex Engine that is Perl Compatible, which sounds reasonable...

    Perl's regex engine is faster.
    Interesting: several people have said that. If anyone knows of any actual benchmarks, please let me know. Otherwise I'll try and do some of my own.
