I'm working on a preliminary version right now. So far it's been surprisingly easy--touches toke.c, perly.y, opcode.pl, pp.c, and pp_hot.c. (Of course, it's also off an old bleadperl, but I doubt those files change that actively.) BTW, so far toke.c hasn't been as bad as I've heard it is. :^) --Brent Dax <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> @roles=map {"Parrot $_"} qw(embedding regexen Configure) #define private public --Spotted in a C++ program just before a #include
