I've tried to do this in Chapter 3, "Extending and Controlling", of my
upcoming book, "Regular Expressions in Perl". If you read it, it might
help shed some light on

Sorry, this
Hey,
Ok, basically a word boundary is considered something that could be in a
traditional word, surround by something that can't be in a word (spaces,
tabs, non-printable chars, etc).
The equivalent of specifying a word boundary would be roughly the following
regex:
/[^a-zA-Z0-9-_][a-zA-Z0-9-_]+[
