We're still very much on course for a release this week. I'm happy with the state of PMCs and the state of the test coverage for them - I'm OK with the fact that string->num is broken right now because I expect a lot of work on strings in the next release period. (Gotta get them encodings working, guys. ;)
I'm not particularly happy with the state of the documentation, which is the big stumbling-block for the release. I'll work on that soon. I'm also going to write a PerlUndef class, and patch the assembler so that it can create PMCs by class name. (Since PerlUndef is going to become class 1, and that'll screw everything up.) After I've done PerlUndef and the assembler patch, it would be <hint type="big">really really great</hint> if we had some interesting examples using these PMCs; similarly, I'd like to know if the maintainers of the little languages (Hey, Gregor, where did you disappear to?) are planning to do anything with PMCs this time around. Then I've got to find the apposite quote, which'll take the rest of the week... :) Simon -- The Second Law of Thermodynamics: If you think things are in a mess now, just wait!
