There is an overview page for regular expression libraries in Haskell. [1] However, the last substantial update is from 2014. It seems that regex-pcre was quite popular, but it binds to the C library libpcre which is being phased out in favor of pcre2. There are bindings to pcre2 in the Hackage package pcre2, but there seems to be unresolved low-level problems. [2] I am looking for a package where speed is not top priority, but compatibility to libpcre regular expressions. I think a plain Haskell package would increase the chances of absence of memory bugs and interfacing issues. According to the Wiki page Haskell-only implementations seem to prefer Posix expressions over Perl ones.
