David

Since you asked ... i) Translations - maybe PRXTRANS ??? ii) Case-folding prefixes - \u and \l to make upper and lower case changes, particularly on the RHS of a substitution iii) named character classes iv) support for unicode v) POSIX bracketed expressions vi) character class subtraction : e.g. [[a-k]-[aei]] vii) good documentation on PRXDEBUG - I have yet to find this in the Perl world, either

ok ... some of these are not even the Perl flavor of regex, but can't one still be hopeful?

Ken
