Re: Trying to count the captures in a compiled regular expression

In lieu of my unfinished Regexp::Parser, you could use Graham Barr's Regexp module, which allows you to say:

use Regexp;
my $rx = Regexp->new('pattern');
my $nparens = $rx->nparens;

His module is not a parser like mine is, but rather, an XS interface to the C code behind the regex engine.
