Contact japhy and kindly ask him to update YAPE::Regex so it is extension friendly (possibly providing a proposed patch), and then use YAPE::Regex 44; in your subclass, to make sure users havea a good enough version of YAPE::Regex installed (presumably the extension friendly YAPE::Regex).

If japhy doesn't agree, then simply fork the code like Zaxo suggests.
