I really liked that site: http://www.regular-expressions.info/
helped me understand how stuff works around regular
expressions. And of course my text editor with regular
expression search and replace. As soon as you know
how it works, you won't stop using it ;-)

And by the way, I still have to
    man perlre
everytime I want to use look around or similarly complex
stuff, so it's good to know where to get the answers.
Yet I'd never use something like
    lookahead(...)
simply because looking it up in the man page is just about
as time consuming as typing "lookahead" all the time;
but (?=) is much more compact :-)

Greetz!
