 Damian's latest diary entry talks about the work he's been doing on a
 module called Regex::Common.

I'm still waiting for him to do Parse::Perl.  Goddamnit, I *need* that
module!

Although we haven't deprecated this feature, you should instead consider
using "real" multidimension hashes now, such as $foo{$a}{$b}{$c} instead of
$foo{$a,$b,$c}.  The fake ones may be easier to sort, however, and are much
more amenable to use as DBM files.
