Ubuntu / Debian Install PCRE Library ( Perl 5 Compatible Regular Expression Library )

I need to compile few application and I need Perl 5 Compatible Regular Expression Library (PCRE). Under CentOS I can use a package called pcre-devel, but Debian do not have the same. How do I install pcre-devel under Debian / Ubuntu Linux?

Perl-compatible regular expression library. PCRE has its own native API, but a set of "wrapper" functions that are based on the POSIX API are also supplied in the library libpcreposix. Note that this just provides a POSIX calling interface to PCRE: the regular expressions themselves still follow Perl syntax and semantics. The header file for the POSIX-style functions is called pcreposix.h. To install PCRE, type thy following command:
# apt-get update
# apt-get install libpcre3 libpcre3-dev
