Yeah. The book is slightly ahead in future with some statements (as well as with the mentioned asynchronous IO :) Anyway, in CVS we have PGE the Parrot Grammar Engine. It implements parts of Perl6 rules and Perl5 regexen. You might also have a look at Subject: "Parrot Syntax Engine" posted here recently. Both are work in progress. > cheers, > Sven. leo
