The Perl distribution includes a man page on the subject. "man
perlre" or "perldoc perlre" will show it.
I found a good Python-oriented HOWTO here.

Regular Expression HOWTO

And of course the man pages for {,e,f}grep and sed are appropriate if
you're using those.
The POSIX regex man page will put you to sleep, but it's complete
and accurate. "man 7 regex".
The HOWTO is probably the best starting place for a beginner.
