The regular expression / rules part of Parrot is called "PGE", for "Perl/Parrot Grammar Engine", and it's currently in the compilers/pge directory. The intent is that rules will be another compiler within Parrot (i.e., it can standalone somewhat outside of Perl). Over Christmas the design team had to do a fair amount of rethinking about the P6 rules syntax (especially regarding capture semantics), and "real life" and other tasks have been intruding on me in nasty ways to keep me from getting the implementation back up to speed. But those other intrusions seem to have finally slacked off (or, more precisely, I'm pushing them away), so I'm expecting to be releasing more PGE updates any day now. Pm
