Simon Cozens did. I don't know the details exactly.
Note also that the grammar and the parser are not the difficult part;
the perl 5 lexer is very complex (and highly stateful, as opposed as
pure-lex lexers). I don't know how much of the complexity of the lexer
can be reinserted back into the grammar for perl 6.

If strain on the lexer were a design criterion, I blew it long ago.
