i had those two as one OR the other. but i can count them both and maybe
drop understanding regexes. we will see what the demand is. i have to
write to all the previous students and make the same announcement to them.

i am using P:RD now and it still boggles me (even with damian's
help). and i have another project i want to use it for. amazing module
if used correctly (in my cases i parse once and use the resulting parse
tree many times - the parsing is slow but i don't care about the one
time startup cost).

and at oscon damian showed a perl6 grammar module written in perl5! he
hasn't released it yet but it impressed the crowd who oohed and
ahhhed. since p6 grammars are similar to P:RD i can see why it took him
only 700 lines of code and less than a week to write it. but damn, that
is still brane frying to see.
