PCRE is not used by Perl, it is an emulation package of Perl built-in REs. So, this is not a Perl question. It is therefore sort of off-topic here. But don't get me wrong, this is really not meant to say that I don't want to help you on your question. But, by definition, Perl developpers don't use PCRE, they have the original built-in version, they don't need a copy. Bill has given you an answer with Perl's original RE built-ins, there is a reasonable chance that this will work under PCRE, but we Perl users don't really know PCRE. Try Bill's solution, and, if it does not work, you should rather ask your question on forums about languages using PCRE such as, I would think, Python, Ruby, PHP, possibly Javascript, Scala and some others.
