    My only worry is that things I write about Perl 6 regexes would be volatile -- regexes might change and what I write might become useless. Whereas, with Perl 5 regexes, there are at least versions of Perl that will support whatever it is I'm writing about, even if future releases change things.

    I also haven't spent enough time absorbing Perl 6 regexes.
