Thanks

That is very interesting to know. Its good to know that presumably it wonīt affect me. Although reading the documentation I couldnīt get much out of it as I wasnt understanding the regexes itself.
Thanks for translating these to me in an understandable language :-)

While testing our software I ran into the mentioned bugs and falsely blamed Boost for that.

Its also interesting to see that Boost and PCRE have quite much in common. The author of Boost made also a statement, why he didnt stick to Perl5 regexes. He based his position on an article by Larry Wall, where Larry states that perl6 will probably have quite huge changes in the regex syntax and so Perl5 hasnt in fact a real standart. Sounds to me like Perl6 is reinventing regex!?

I commit I havent read the article completly yet but do you guys know if there /will be|is/ a book about Perl6 Regex syntax?
