Oh, good - a real Perl user! That means you can catch (and perhaps fix) the
code where I get it horribly wrong. I'll try to get a base package out soon,
so people can hack it.
Keep in mind that adding pattern matching won't turn Euphoria into Perl.

Hehehe - ROTFL. Plenty of other useful stuff is coded by lots of other
people. And my development time in the next couple weeks (if not months) is
likely to become quite minimal in about two days. Somehow I think the
Euphoria community will survive. 
Also, one of the reasons I went into tedious detail in my e-mail was to show
that there was is nothing magical about coding this sort of thing, and it's
not at all rocket science. On the other hand, I could be missing something
very important. For example, my pattern matcher *won't* work with something
like this:
/.* ^Name: (.*)/
Because the wildcard on the left hand side will eat up "Name:". Are
wildcards like this allowed in Perl?
