I am sorry for the delay.
I've implemented all missing features except -i option.
I did not test things well. Tests are still TODO. Also I'd like to
improve interface and add other whistles like named groups and
relative back refs.
We could try to add support for infinite quantifiers (like +) and
recursion with global length limit: a+b+ with limit 3 is ab, aab, abb.
I get all rules from command line instead of 'while ($rule = <>)'.
Back refs to undefined groups behave like in PCRE:
# rexgen2rules.pl: (a(?:\1|b)){2}
'1 A0"abaab" \]
'1 A0"abab" \]
Thanks!
