...I'm working on it. Since the version I sent to the Perl 6 groups (which had variables, precedence-less operators and basically any straight built-in function call) I've convinced it to handle if statements and I'm working on if/else, while, and do/while. It's much more strict about syntax (I may add unparenthesized function calls soon) than Perl is.
On a fairly separate note, a question for Damian: how can I convince Parse::RecDescent that there's a semicolon at the end of every BLOCK, even if there isn't one? Is there some sort of lookbehind available?
