Maybe of interest to some, probably of no interest to most, but this is the
first time I've noticed the use of a perl6 regexp flag in the wild. Or
however "wild" #london.pm on IRC passes for:

<richardc> Trelane: not really - I think I spent longer debugger
+WWW::UsePerl::Journal than I meant to
<richardc> /ger/ging/
<richardc> :2nd


So they are useful :-)

(and people will come to use them, and presumably perl6, as they discover
that it's more powerful than their current chainsaw. We already assume
that, but it's reassuring to find anecdotal evidence that backs it up)
