in thread CGI/Perl vs. ASP
Looking at the documentation for VBScript's pattern property, I don't see any indication that the (?:) syntax is supported in VBScript.
I think it makes more sense to use the VBScript reference, rather than perlre, to determine the features of VBScript.
[BTW, (?:) in Perl is not a lookahead; it's a non-capturing group. Lookahead is (?=) and (?!).]
