[erlang-questions] regexp sux!

[Will]

The current version of oregexp (http://glozer.net/code.html#oregexp)
supports matching on both binaries and lists with a wide variety of
character encodings, and uses an extended Perl-type syntax (Ruby's
syntax to be exact) that supports grouping and greed specifiers.  It
is a linked-in driver on top of a C library though and perhaps not
suitable as far as stability and blocking of the emulator.  That said,
performance is good and I have an app using it around once per minute,
24x7, and haven't had any problems so far =)
