What Dan says. If you're interested, there are at least three options:
- a fairly well-developed compiler for perl 5 regexes (languages/regex).
- a less well-developed compiler built into the prototype Perl 6 compiler
(languages/perl6)
- a set of regex ops in rx.ops, suitable for starting your own
implementation from scratch.
Since I'm working on #2, I'd of course most appreciate help on that ;).
It unfortunately relies on a couple of other miscellaneous enhancements
that haven't made it into CVS. If you're interested in taking a look
before it gets into CVS, email me and I'll send you the duct tape I'm
using to hold it together now.

Yow. Cool. Pop a note to perl6-language if you want, to see about
grabbing some folks to help out.
