Yeah, after hacking with perl for a while, i got interested in how it worked under the hood, and had some trouble following.
Check out the regex compilation module:
http://cpansearch.perl.org/src/GBARR/perl5.005_03/regcomp.c http://cpansearch.perl.org/src/GBARR/perl5.005_03/regcomp.c
And execution:
http://cpansearch.perl.org/src/GBARR/perl5.005_03/regexec.c http://cpansearch.perl.org/src/GBARR/perl5.005_03/regexec.c
