PCRE only hanles Perl regex, not POSIX regex (neither basic or
extended). While PCRE is mostly compatible with POSIX regex there is
some subtle differences in more advanced corner cases.

But most probably prefer Perl regex syntax anyway.. Both better
documented, more consistent and easier to type..
