When someone wants to write a parser, they turn to Perl 90% of the time (at least to prototype). The fact that they're really using a powerful lexer instead of a parser and don't ralize it is a sign of why regex and regex culture needed to change. But I don't think that advances in regexen, however great are what Pythonistas and Java Junkies need to hear to be convinced of Perl 6's power/usefullness. -Erik Is your boss reading your email? ....Probably Keep your messages private by using Lycos Mail.
