Thanks, Robert. And, Fabian too... for the taking the time to reply!

Robert, I fully agree with your 'soapbox' content above. I use Perl
mostly for my text processing needs, and am seriously considering
switching to Ruby, mainly for the latter's elegance and simplicity
overall. I admit, I have absolutely no practical need to use any of
those experimental portions of Perl regexp as of today. However, just
the thought that they are there in your new language for your use if
and when you need them can be very comforting indeed. Hence the
question. Anyways, I'll manage without 'em for now.

An appeal to Ruby Development Team: If Perl has no patent over its
regexp spec (I believe Perl is completely free), then the Ruby
Development Team should simply lift wholesale the whole blessed regexp
spec out of Perl (including the code) and support it in Ruby. I'm sure
Rubyists in general would welcome this. Basically: If you don't need
something, just don't use it; however, it's available for the rest.

Best regards,
/HS
