Well, there is probably *some* way to call Perl from RPG, but Buck's
suggestion doesn't really have anything to do with Perl.

PCRE is a C library which implements regular expressions *similar* to
Perl's. Actually, even though "PCRE" stands for "Perl Compatible
Regular Expressions", there are some differences between PCRE regexes
and Perl regexes.

But the suggestion is basically to take the source code of PCRE and
build the library yourself, possibly making modifications to suit your
needs or to accommodate quirks of the IBM i platform.
