I think a tutorial and/or examples would help for a more general audience and
put some of this in context (e.g. compare with tutorials mentioned at the top of
perlre[1]).  Possibly that's suitable for the wiki.  It's a bit technical as is.
 For example, many won't know of the essential differences between POSIX, PCRE,
Oniguruma, and Lua's own pattern matching library.

BTW, here's the changes required to get it to build on Cygwin/gcc:
