in thread DBI Placeholders and REGEXP

MySQL supports "SELECT .. REGEXP". Think LIKE, but with a bit more power.

See http://www.mysql.com/doc/P/a/Pattern_matching.html and http://www.mysql.com/doc/S/t/String_comparison_functions.html

Though I think MySQL REGEXP's aren't quite up to what you're throwing at it. Consult the docs.
