thread-safe regex

are the substitute and split methods of Util thread-safe?
what about in version 1.1.0a?

also, regarding the following, commented by Mr. Savarese:
	Furthermore, most people blatantly misuse the
	org.apache.oro.text.regex package by constantly
	reinstantiating Perl5Compiler and Perl5Matcher
	instances and constantly recompiling regular expressions.

given that the Matcher produces a MatchResult as a side-effect, I would
imagine that you'd want at least one Matcher per thread in a multi-threaded
context?

any advice/observations about using the ORO packages (particularly
pre-jakarta) appreciated.
