[psoc-2008] GSoC 2008 Week 10: S05 (Regexes)

[Adrian Kreher]

I did more S05 work this week. My work is cut a bit short due to vacation 
beginning tomorrow for me. This means that S06 is pushed to the final week, 
and I won't be doing any bonus work.

According to my svn logs, I added 44 regex tests this week. Rakudo's IO was 
improved by Jonathan++ on one of his Rakudo days, so it shouldn't be too 
difficult to merge in the larger test cases. I'll investigate that more when 
I return from vacation. My testing caught several bugs in STD.pm. Of course, 
it caught several bugs in my tests. I've made a habit of testing my tests 
with it to catch dumb syntax errors, since STD.pm parses almost all of t/spec 
(and a lot of t/, too, with some POD and other fixes from TimToady++).

I attempted to get STD.pm working within p6eval on #perl6, but it was 
mysteriously not working. I think my update script broke the file permissions 
or something, so that's something more to investigate.

I may have some time to work on tests while traveling this week, but I don't 
count on it. If so, I'll add some tests. If not, this is why we add spare 
time to the schedule. See you in a week!
