Attaching a patch for a partial implementation of the :g or :global  
modifier with .match.  Note that this differs sightly from that  
envisioned in the specs, where :g is part of the regex; this is  
something which I think @Larry is still mulling over (I may be able to  
ask him myself in the next day or two, as he's speaking locally here  
and is running a perl6 workshop).  Also, the List of Matches returned  
should be converted over to a lazy list when those are implemented.   
However, this is a start.

cjfields$ cat match.p6
my $str = 'ABC123DEF456GHI';

# or :global
for $str.match(/<alpha>+/, :global) -> $x {
     $x.say;
     $x.WHAT.say;
}
cjfields$ parrot ~/src/parrot/languages/perl6/perl6.pbc match.p6
ABC
Match
DEF
Match
GHI
Match
