I recently developed Regexp::Profanity::US for some very practical (documented) reasons instead using the module Regexp::Common by regexp Gods Abigail-II and TheDamian.

One issue that I have come up against is that the word list I have developed has Perl regex characters in it. However, it would be neat if the least of regexes could express themselves in a SQL-92 compatible way as well.

Thus, the word list could be marked up with general regexes which then transform to SQL or Perl regexes. Or, Perl could parse the regexes and dump them out in SQL format when necessary.... does anyone have any idea how to mark up a list of regexes so that they can be used by SQL-92 and Perl?
