Subj : PCRE in Synchronet?

Quick question:  Can SBBS do Perl-compatible Regular Expressions?

I know that (for instance) ./text/name.can uses it's own type of pattern 
specifiers.  Yet JS uses a Perl-type syntax for RE's in the match() 
function.  I'm just curious to know if it would be possible to use 
Perl RE syntax from within the C code itself or if that's limited to JS 
only.  

I'm thinking in particular of the "Twit filter" stuff.  It's great, but 
pretty rudimentary.  I'd have a go at making some small improvements, but 
RE's would really help.
