There is no such thing. Regexps are not a universal concept. You can
not take on regular expression for Perl and just assume it will work
the same way in any other language.

But why do you say that this is a wrong way? Are there performance
issues?

No, there are ability issues. Regular expressions cannot (correctly)
parse HTML.
