Why isn’t Perl anywhere on that chart when mentioning regex?

Why isn’t Perl anywhere on that chart when mentioning regex?
- burntsushi 2y agoBecause they're using regex101 to easily test the semantics of different regex engines and Perl isn't available on regex101. PCRE is though, which is a decent approximation. And indeed, Perl and PCRE behave the same for this particular case.
- account42 2y agoWhy isn’t Perl available on regex101 when its all about regex?
- burntsushi 2y agoI dunno. Maybe because nobody has contributed it? Maybe because Perl isn't as widely used as it once was? Maybe because it's hard to compile Perl to WASM? Maybe some other reason?
