in reply to Has Perl regex DFA engine in its core?

It is not in CORE but the re::engine::RE2 module implements a DFA based RE-engine.

A program should be light and agile, its subroutines connected like a string of pearls. The spirit and intent of the program should be retained throughout. There should be neither too little or too much, neither needless loops nor useless variables, neither lack of structure nor overwhelming rigidity." - The Tao of Programming, 4.1 - Geoffrey James
