Hm ... what I meant is even with same syntax, i.e. no compilation error, you might get different results.

IIRC there are differences in backtracking with nested groups and the notion of what an atomar match is (no guaranty PCRE not really my domain)

JS claims to copy the Perl 4 standard, but even in this limited case you'll be confronted with incompatibilities.
