You mean you looked at, even used the RegExps in C# and did not throw up? Man you have a good stomach!
A global match that gives you a data structure five levels deep made of five different types of objects? Replacement that's either a completely static string or a "reference to a function" (for .Net guys "a delegate") that has to be defined somewhere far off because C# doesn't support unnamed functions/blocks? I've seen several examples in C# that implemented something like s{%(\w+)%}{$hash{$1}}g;. None of them was shorter than some twenty lines and each and every one of them was ugly and hard to understand. Shame I don't have the book here.
I think that if I'll continue to be forced to "work" in C# I'll end up wrapping the real Perl regexps in a .Net class whose design might not be so "clean OO", but will be easier to use. Like I did with VB.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
