and here it becomes horribly slow and weird. You are already in one 
add. What do you want to find here?
I took your example code, almost word for word, and added approximately 
three, count them three, machine instructions (not Parrot instructions, 
not C statements, but machine instructions) to the path length, and now 
adjectives like horribly slow and wierd come out.

It looks like this mailing list will not be suitable for civilized 
discussion until Dan gets back.

Meanwhile, all existing Python tests pass:

Phalanx update please!

[Andy Lester]

I'm working on an article for perl.com on the Phalanx project.  Those of
you involved, can you please give a summary of what you've done?  Or
better yet, give me a summary and update the wiki as well?

I want to be able to say SouthFlorida PM has improved the coverage of
Wango::Tango from 60% to 90%, and Chicago.PM has found and fixed three
bugs in HTML::Googah.

Thanks,
xoxo,
Andy
