Perl regular expression help?

[Meghana Sanagaram]

Hey guys ! I have a silly but intriguing question this time. We have been asked to implement the Horsepool's and Boyer-Moore's algorithm for string matching using PERL REGULAR EXPRESSIONS.
What I don't understand is, when regexp directly give the solution, how do I use those algorithms ?
