+SUMMARY="Perl5 Compatible Regular Expressions"
+DESCRIPTION="The PCRE2 library is a set of functions that implement regular \
+expression pattern matching using the same syntax and semantics as Perl 5. \
+PCRE2 has its own native API, as well as a set of wrapper functions that \
+correspond to the POSIX regular expression API. The PCRE2 library is free, \
+even for building proprietary software.
+PCRE2 is a re-working of the original PCRE library to provide an entirely new \
+API."
