That seems as naiive as saying "regular expressions are for parsing text, and if you can't parse XML with regular expressions, there's something wrong with them" . Leaving aside that Perl 6 regexes do parse XML ;-), we could ask ourselves why junctions aren't suited. The answer is that an any() junction represents just what it says - a conjunction of *any* values, not some of the any values. The example would perfectly work if there was nothing to filter out. You'd need 'some-of-any' junction here, which we don't support. Cheers, Moritz -- Moritz Lenz http://perlgeek.de/ | http://perl-6.de/ | http://sudokugarden.de/
