Portable regular expression library for Lua?

Question

For my current project, I'll be building a small, portable program in Lua (LuaJIT interpreter). One of the requirements is regular expression matching - pretty much any standard-like one (e.g. PCRE/PCRE2, but not Lpeg).

Is there a library I could just bundle with the program (source + interpreter + regex library) so it can be ran out of the box, without installations? Preferably Windows, but that doesn't matter much.

Thanks!

Try Lrexlib, which provides bindings of five regular expression library APIs (POSIX, PCRE, PCRE2, GNU, TRE and Oniguruma) to Lua >= 5.1.
