Pardon me for perhaps being stupid here ... but ... what exclusive right does «the Perl language» (tah, dahhh...!) have to “the same interpretation of RE-syntax that «the Perl language» does?”
Perl is (just ...) “a programming language,” and, as such, its underlying implementation of “regular expressions” most-certainly is not unique. In fact, a great many (other...) languages “rather go out of their way” to implement “Perl-compatible” versions of it.
So ... prithee ... “down-vote away,” I still really want to know ... what exactly is The Problem Here?
If you (merely ...) “want access to a ‘Perl-compatible™ Regex’ from ...” any of the aforesaid languages, then you certainly can do so without resorting to “Perl-language mechinations!”

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
