I am a reasonably proficient C programmer.  Recently, I learned Perl for
my job.  I am very disappointed with Perl's speed (due to it's being an
interpreted language) and therefore have returned to C.

However, Perl has many functions that greatly simplify programming, and I
have decided to rewrite most of these functions in C.  There is one very
important thing that I need, though - a regular expression parser.

Is there one already written (with source available)?  If not, I'll start
on the task of writing one myself, or trying to hack it directly from the
perl source (ugh).

Any help would be appreciated; thanks in advance.

- Tom
