Yea that looks similar, but if you look at the perl6 grammar spec,
http://dev.perl.org/perl6/exegesis/E05.html, and 
http://dev.perl.org/perl6/apocalypse/A05.html, they are adding more then 
just a straight up grammar parser in perl, they are also adding the 
ability to subclass parts of the grammar and various other features. 
Seeing the REBOL spec tells me they definitely partially based off of 
that, but went alot further as well.
