I am having the same problem, a quick check of the USE flag: # euse -i pcre global use flags (searching: pcre) ************************************************************ [+ D ] pcre - Adds support for Perl Compatible Regular Expressions local use flags (searching: pcre) ************************************************************ [+ D ] pcre (dev-lang/php): Adds support for Perl Compatible Regular Expressions (deprecated: always "on" in php 5.3) So it would have been a default "on" flag, but apparently not so.
