The only reason I can think of to interface flex and perl is to glue perl to an
existing flex codebase. If you need to do that, see the perlxs man page.
Otherwise, it's almost too easy to write your own, especially if you don't need
to match across line-breaks (because you don't need to do any complex
buffering). See the perlop man page, look for the \G.../gc modifiers.
