I started on Perl, so I'm very familiar with regular expressions. That said, they definitely are not that easy to read, so for code, keep it simple and comment what you are doing. It solves a lot of problems, but not necessarily better than more readable approaches. Still, you won't completely avoid them. Rewrite rules, for example, still require a basic understanding of regular expressions, as well as some network device configurations.
