As the author states, this is not a reference. It is everything you might ever want to know about regular expressions and then some. Well written, but a bit too epic for me, and if you aren't interested in perl - as I am not - there is a lot of information you just don't need (or want).

"Nail it to your desk unless you want to be constantly retrieving it from your co-workers. If I might be permitted a Spinal Tap reference, this one goes to eleven. If you ever use regular expressions, are thinking of using regular expressions or are in the same room as a regular expression, then you need this book."
