regexp's aren't difficult, really this is something that a person can
do and a computer can't do. there are places which will let you
_test_ regexps, but expecting the computer to generate them is not
much short of saying "can the computer program for me".

You don't need to learn perl, although most regexps are "perl
compatible" to some degree (basically extra stuff you can use).
Really, just go and learn it - it'll be very useful.
