Nudge noted. At the moment I've been holding off on progressing too far with PGE because the rule "match semantics" are in the midst of being redefined somewhat (based on discussions on perl6-language and other places) and the changes being contemplated have some non-trivial implications for PGE's internals. Out of curiosity (so I can better work towards supporting your need), are you really intending to do the equivalent of: $P0 = split "\:\:+", $S0 i.e., separating $S0 based on sequences of two or more literal colons? (Colons are metacharacters in p6rules.) Pm
