Regexp support is a different story.

You might look at 'ulex' which provides
in-language  support (including UTF-8
support) strong enough to translate a large
and complex lexer (namely, the Felix lexer).

Since it uses regular definitions and multi branched
matching, it is much more scalable than the weak Perl
technology -- which only handles regexps, cant
do parallel matches, can't handle I18n properly,
and of course is totally unreadable as well as being slow.
