in reply to DBD-SQLite Regexp

... and then again, you just might be satisfied to get close. Give an "unadorned" SQLite enough information to reduce the number of returned rows to a reasonable subset that does not omit what you must include, then use Perl regexes to filter further from there. If you know that the whole shebang is happening on the current machine, it just might be a wash.
