It uses a perl module that manipulates PDF in order to add the XMP:  

http://search.cpan.org/~areibens/PDF-API2-0.63/lib/PDF/API2.pm

I never looked to see whether that uses regular expressions underneath, but 
Alf's script doesn't use a regex AFAIK.  I was able to read his metadata with 
Adobe's C++ libraries and with some low-level CGPDF functions, but I haven't 
looked into it for a long time.
