pcregrep 7.4-0ubuntu0.7.10.2 (hppa binary) in ubuntu gutsy

 Perl-style regexps have many useful features that the standard POSIX ones
 don't; this is basically the same as grep but with the different
 regexp syntax.
 .
 The other reason for the existence of pcregrep is that its source code is an
 example of programming with libpcre.
