Watch this:
$ grep --version
grep (GNU grep) 2.5.1

$ grep --help | grep perl
-P, --perl-regexp PATTERN is a Perl regular expression
$ echo foo | grep -P foo
grep: The -P option is not supported
$
Either the option is supported or it is not, in which case it shouldn't be
listed in the "--help" page.
