I asked a similar question about parsing Perl 6 on use.perl.org a while back.
The answer, from a combination of "Larry Wall and Damian Conway (with a bit
of help from Dan, Jeff, Hugo, and Nat)" was:
<blockquote>
Oh, and it's not clear that Perl 6 will even have a separate scanner and
parser. It may well be that the parsing technology it uses is more like the
"on-the-fly" tokenisation provided by Parse::RecDescent.
Much will be revealed when the next Apocalypse ("Regexes and Parsing") appears
in the coming few weeks.

I'm also very interested in this. At the moment, I'm trying to find enough
tuits to make a significant contribution....
