I've found some Perl books very helpful .. There is a chapter (well a couple of chapters) in O'Reilly Learning Perl book which really helped me get my head around RegEx (ie its nice and slow just like me hehe).. I know there is a O'Reilly book called Mastering Regular Expressions which is supposed to be good (but I haven't looked at it)
