I notice that this file (and all of the others I looked at) say at the top: // DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE - it is machine generated -*- c++ -*- So, perhaps it's not the .h files we should be parsing, but whatever source files were used to generate them. Though, of course, some C++-to-Perl6 tool would be a good thing too. :-) -Scott -- Jonathan Scott Duff perlpilot@gmail.com
