That was nice of you to write that code. You appear to be quite good at it. We're all practising writing parsers and compilers to get ready for the main event - Perl 6, which will also compile down to parrot assembler. Find out more at dev.perl.org. You seem to enjoy writing this kind of code, maybe writing the next perl would appeal?

In any case join the community - you don't have to own up to this exchange unless you want to :)
