Simon, Here (finally) is that list of SV functions. I ran out of time to trawl through the pp*.c files, so this is based only on what I found in sv.c. Dave M. This a grouping and summary of the functions in sv.c (ignoring the strictly local ones). The grouping scheme is probably a bit arbitrar

Not to speak for Dan, but there's no code yet to review or learn from. I'd love to see someone set up a perl *5* apprentice program, and Mark-Jason Dominus has some ideas on how it might work. For perl6, though, we're not yet at a place where I think it makes sense. Right now there's so little d
