  1. PCRE: You might need to change the open_dll()/define_c_* imports to get it working on Linux. But probably not difficult to get working.

Working fine, it wasn't too hard. The .dll functions used in the old package were undocumented, and don't appear in the .so on my Linux system, which is a recent version. Not difficult to get the current functions from the .h file and change regex.e to suit.

On a typical web-scraping application, where I've written my own specific strip_the_tags and find_the_expression routines, I've replaced some of that with regular expression finds. It's much faster.

I'll send the regex.e to anyone who wants to use PCRE on Linux.
