The attached patch (at ~14K) implements Perl 6's new C<//>, C<//=>, and
C<err> ops for Perl 5. It includes tests, a patch to perlop, and a
patch to B::Deparse. It also modifies several areas of Perl, including
the parser and tokenizer, and adds two new opcodes.
I was originally going to include patches to both the source and
generated versions of several files (e.g. perly.y and perly.c), but the
patch was 300K when I did that, so you'll need to be able to regenerate
the parser and the opcode table to use this.
Tests come out like this:

51 tests and 570 subtests skipped.
Failed 5/679 test scripts, 99.26% okay. 30/63549 subtests failed, 99.95%
okay.
I'm assuming that that's normal for Win32.
I have no expectation that this will be in 5.8, and only a very slightly
higher expectation that it'll be in 5.10. I wrote this as much to
figure out how to do stuff in Perl internals as to make a contribution
to the language.
Finally, this is my first attempt to do anything with the Perl 5 core,
so comments on style, etc. would be appreciated.
Thanks.
