I've been looking at some pretty hairy regular expressions (in Perl)
recently that are virtually unreadable. The thought crossed my mind
that maybe there are some alternatives to classic regular expression
syntax out there. Note that I'm only talking about the syntax - it's
hard to beat the semantics of regular expressions.


Does anybody know of anything?
