On #perl6 I got corrected quite quickly: subparse is anchored to the start and end of the target string, so :pos doesn't make sense. In this case, you want just .parse Another thing is that if lines() does keep all data around, it should be considered a bug, as we should be able to infer that we don't keep the list itself around and thus won't be able to refer to its previous values later on. Thus, we should free the memory for the earlier lines in the target string after the loop is done with them. I have not yet tested, if this is the case, though. Hope that clears up a bit of potential confusion before it can arise - Timo
