Why aren't Perl's patterns regular expressions?
Why aren't Perl's patterns regular expressions?
✍: Guest
Because Perl patterns have backreferences.
A regular expression by definition must be
able to determine the next state in the finite
automaton without requiring any extra memory
to keep around previous state. A pattern /([ab]+)c\1/
requires the state machine to remember old
states, and thus disqualifies such patterns
as being regular expressions in the classic sense
of the term.
