Lookbehind pattern matching

Hi All,

I have to use a lookbebind pattern like (?!foo)bar i.e., match 'bar' not
preceded by 'foo'. I understand that Perl5 does not allow that but Perl8
does (please correct me if I am wrong  !) . Can anyone please let me know if
there is a workaround for such a case. Also is it likely that OroMatcher
will support Perl8 syntax in the near future ?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Ron
