As per my grant conditions, here is a report for the May period.
This month I continued to rework how the code blocks in /(?{code})/ are actually invoked, and the work is mostly finished. In particular,
* /(?{die/next/last/caller})/ no longer SEGV;
* recursive (?{}) calling (?{}) etc works;
* paren captures work correctly in the presence of recursive and nested (?{}) and (??{});
* I also found and fixed some buggy behaviour of $^N and $+ when backtracking is involved (but not related to (?{}));
* and I generally cleaned up the paren capturing code while I was at it;
* propagating 'use re eval' into the return from (??{});
* saving paren positions when running (?{}) code.
Over the last month I have averaged 17 hours per week.
As of 2012/05/31: since the beginning of the grant:
bq. 116.6 weeks
1237.1 total hours
