note TheDamian There are known problems with Perl6::Rules under perl 5.8.4 and later. I.e. some features of the module don't work properly any more. Since Perl6::Rules came out (and worked) under 5.8.3, the valiant Perl 5 porters have <a href="http://www.xray.mpe.mpg.de/mailing-lists/perl5-porters/2004-10/msg00132.html">started fixing some very deep problems</a> that the module had exposed in the core regex engine, specifically problems in the way that closures embedded in regexes (don't) work. <p>The regex engine has been a moving target since then, and probably will be for some time yet, so I've held off reworking Perl6::Rules until I can genuinely fix it. <p>And, of course, CTDS (Chronic Tuit Deficiency Syndrome) hasn't helped either. :-( <p>I'm certainly not happy about the current situation, and I apologize for the unsatisfactory state of the module, but I'm afraid there isn't anything I can do about it in the immediate future. 398006 398006
