What's TextPad's "flavor"?

Friedl's book arrived in yesterday's post and it's got me wondering about what he refers to as regex flavors (i.e., perl, java, php, .NET) and whether or not the kernel, engine, or whatever the proper term for the facilitation of regular expressions in TextPad/WildEdit even has a "flavor".

TextPad and WildEdit use the Boost regex library (http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_53_0/li ... index.html) in Perl mode.

Good luck with the book!
