What about the two "In Perl 6 and hypothetical future Perl 5" sections though, aren't they inappropriate for a tutorial? How should I handle them when converting the post to a tutorial?

    How should I handle them when converting the post to a tutorial?

    There is no "converting" :) leave original intact and

    Start a new node (reply ok) with "RFC: Advanced techniques with regex quantifiers" in title

    Make it into a good tutorial (clear purpose, clear example, clear caveats , clearly digestible ... )

    Advertise in chatterbox, get commentary on it, improve/revise

    If you've got positive response, post (minus RFC in title) under Tutorials and wait :)

    See How does editing work in the Tutorials section?

    Compare to these examples both short Common Regex Gotchas and long Parsing with Regexes and Beyond

    Also avoid <readmore> tags in tutorials, its visual interference :)
