Did anybody find a good solution to this annoying problem in the last 6 years since the original post? I am very annoyed by lack of perl style regular expressions (or PCRE) in emacs and don't want to learn the limited emacs regex. I will appreciate an answer or work around?

I found a work around. Within emacs type C-u M-\| and then type your favorite typical perl command to substitute with regex. And of course, this will support perl regex	[reply]
