I'll need more time to digest the rest of your email, but as to the SEGVs:
I've just tried running Regexp-Grammars-1.030 under 5.18.0 (with the >=
5.18 test disabled), and although many tests fail, or exit with 255 due to
'use re eval' not being in scope, I couldn't see any SEGVs.
Do you know which tests did for you?
My gut instinct would be that they are SEGVing due to recursive calls to
overloading (which quickly blows the C stack, and is a problem with all
perls).
