PCRE and normalized content

[Paul Schmehl <pschmehl_lists () tx rr com>]

This string: %20%61%6E%64%20%31%3D%31
equals this string: ' and 1=1'
after normalization.  You can pick this up in a rule by using uricontent 
instead of content.  But what do you do about PCRE?  Is there a way to get PCRE 
to match against normalized content?  Or will it only match against 
non-normalized content?

I'm working on sql injection rules and using the following pcre: 
pcre:"/and\s(\d+)=\1/";

It works fine on 1=1 or 54=54, but fails on %31%3D%31, apparently because it's 
attempting to match against the non-normalized content.
