Current regular expression options

In the not too distant future I will be working with text using regular expressions. I have looked through past user submissions. There are several viable options. I am leaning toward the PCRE pattern matching provided Apr 23, 2002 by Karl Bochert (largely because of PERL compatibility). I simply did a search for "regular expressions" in user contributions and EUForm. Most of what I found was a bit old. So I am seeking more up-to-date information. Now my question(s): Are there other good options available now that I should use? In the experience of some Euphoria veterans, which available option is best (that is, most powerful, robust, ...)? I realize such a question is largely personal taste, such as, my preference for PERL compatibility. But the opinions of those who have already tried some regular expression parsing in Euphoria is valuable. Just a note, my main interest is in the Win32 world. Terry Constant
