Emacs regular expressions lack many features such as lookaround, atomic grouping, possessive quantifiers, conditionals etc. I found references to john-edwin-tobey.org/perlmacs/ but it seems that the URL is no longer valid. Anyway, I think that package focuses on replacing lisp by Perl to program you own Emacs tools/functions. Greetings Flo
