Do you just want to define some calling conventions? If so, we could fix those in stone (or thick mud) now, and worry about the stability of the two parts later. Hopefully the degree to which perl6 passes its tests won't affect the regex engine's behavior too much, and if we choose something that makes sense and isn't too complicated, perl6 (and regex) can change quite a bit while maintaining the interface. Especially if said failures are in the regex tests -- putting regex in will _fix_ those ;). > Current batch of failures: No problems here (linux ppc, perl 5.6.1), so this is a bit disturbing. /s
