ISBN 1-56592-257 "Mastering Regular Expressions" by Jeffrey Friedl.
It is a good book. I do not know if he plans to update it for the latest
features of Perl 5.005.
Or, you could do the job cheaper, and just read section called "Regular
Expression Details" in the man page in src/pcre/pcre.3 in your Exim
source tree. :-)
