I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all of you for working through these issues. I bent my brain on the Perl 5 regex engine, and that was just a "simple" recurse-on-success engine--and I'm not the only person it drove mad. I deeply appreciate that Perl 6's regex engine may drive you even madder. But such sacrifices are at the heart of why people love Perl. Thanks!
