What Dan says. If you're interested, there are at least three options: - a fairly well-developed compiler for perl 5 regexes (languages/regex).
- a less well-developed compiler built into the prototype Perl 6 compiler (languages/perl6) - a set of regex ops in rx.ops, suitable for starting your own implementation from scratch. Since I'm working on #2, I'd of course most appreciate help on that ;). It unfortunately relies on a couple of other miscellaneous enhancements that haven't made it into CVS. If you're interested in taking a look before it gets into CVS, email me and I'll send you the duct tape I'm using to hold it together now. /s ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Mon, 12 Aug 2002 03:00:27 -0400 From: Dan Sugalski <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Sean O'Rourke <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Perl 6 regexes...

Pop a note to perl6-language if you want, to see about grabbing some folks to help out. >On Mon, 12 Aug 2002, Dan Sugalski wrote: > >> Well, we've got a pretty good description of perl 6's regexes >> courtesy of A5.
