I'm getting errors from the test script itself, there are lines such as
# 65: ^ abc y $&
p6rule_like('abc', '^', qr/0: <\Q\E @/, 're_tests 35/$0 (#35)');
# 66: $ abc y $&
p6rule_like('abc', '$', qr/0: <\Q\E @/, 're_tests 36/$0 (#36)');
which cause my test script to produce...
$ perl t/harness t/p6rules/re_tests.t
t/p6rules/re_tests....syntax error at t/p6rules/re_tests.t line 106, near "0:

t/p6rules/re_tests.t has too many errors.
I suppose the problem could be with my perl installation (5.8.0, RH9)
Also, the PGE test harness itself isn't sacred -- if there are functions
or other features we could add to make this sort of testing easier, I'm
all for it.
