Regular expressions

Does there exist a routine for regular expression matching in IDL?

I'm thinking of something along the lines of an extended STR_SEP that could 
(say) separate a string into components separated by 0 or 1 commas and an 
arbitrary number of spaces.

I could do it by spawning a perl script but that's not too pretty and I 
can't see an _easy_ way to do it natively.
