preg_split
Deprecating POSIX regex in PHP for Perl searching is like substituting wooden boards and brick for a house with pre-fabricated rooms and walls. Sure, you may be able to mix and match some of the parts but it's a lot easier to modify with all the pieces laid out in front of you.

There should be a huge message on here, regarding PHP 5.3.0 (June 30, 2009) because this appears to be the first time in history that PHP is abandoning parts of its API, specifically the POSIX regex stuff -- presumably this is to favor the PCRE regex stuff.
That's fine, but it should be well noted, not ignored.
