No, but you can set the flags inside the patterns using, for example,
(?m) to set /m or (?s) to set /s. This is documented in the PCRE
documentation, and also in Perl documentation, as it is also a Perl
feature. The relevant PCRE documentation is distributed with Exim in the
file doc/pcrepattern.txt.
