IT DOESN'T WORK Re: [PATCH English.pm] Removing the regex nastiness (finally)

[Michael G Schwern <schwern@pobox.com>]

I lied, it doesn't work... or rather it works intermitently.  And I
don't know why.  For some reason I can get it working in the debugger
but not when run normally.  And to top it all off I've gotten it to
segfault under 5.005_03.

I have this sinking feeling that Perl -must- see $& at compile or
parse time for it to be usefully populated, which means I'd have to
fall back to my original idea of "use English qw(:NOREGEX);" which is
obviously not nearly as desireable.

I will play with it on the train home.
