Perl Regular Expressions

There is an overview page for regular expression libraries in Haskell. [1] 
However, the last substantial update is from 2014.

It seems that regex-pcre was quite popular, but it binds to the C library 
libpcre which is being phased out in favor of pcre2. There are bindings to 
pcre2 in the Hackage package pcre2, but there seems to be unresolved 
low-level problems. [2]

I am looking for a package where speed is not top priority, but 
compatibility to libpcre regular expressions. I think a plain Haskell 
package would increase the chances of absence of memory bugs and 
interfacing issues. According to the Wiki page Haskell-only 
implementations seem to prefer Posix expressions over Perl ones.
