Suggestion: let the Perl5 modifier take an optional argument that
consists of perl5-compatable, perl6-incompatable modifiers: m, s,
and/or x. The other regex-related perl5-compatable modifiers (e, g,
and o) have more to do with the match and substitute functions than
with the patterns themselves, and so can be updated to perl6 standards
without regard to the pattern used.

You just put them inside with (?smx).

Ah; gotcha. I had been under the impression that there were subtle
differences between (?msx) and //msx, such as the former allowing you
to turn the flags on or off mid-pattern. Not that it matters if you
put this at the front of the pattern...
