You could write a substitute command once makeing it little bit more
consistent - maybe you can even write a "translate perl to vim syntax"
for the most often used use cases.
Creating your own mappings for /? etc can be done fast.
Something like
cnoremap <m-r><c-r>=PerlToVimRegex(input('type regex'))<cr>
Then type <m-r> in command line. Not perfect - but may be good enough
for you. I can't offer rewriting Vim - would be too much effort.
