Sorry about that, I mis-interpreted the bug you were seeking to resolve. PGE doesn't yet handle aliases into scalar variables (as it's not quite certain where to put the capture results anyway), so it's having trouble figuring out where to stick the capture results. However, I'll see if I can at least get PGE to parse simple scalars and throw the capture somewhere for the time being, at least until I have a better handle on how Perl scalars will be stored in Parrot. Thanks! Pm
