I noticed the flurry of CVS activity earlier today and saw this. (I was very excited.) I almost commented about it on the list, but figured I might steal Andy's thunder (or resurrection miracle if you prefer). ;)

I think the change might have been in Parser.yp:
-args:	    args term		    { push(@{$_[1]}, $_[2]); $_[1]        }
+args:	    args expr		    { push(@{$_[1]}, $_[2]); $_[1]        }

I didn't look very hard, though, and I could be entirely wrong here.

Anyhow, I want to say THANK YOU for this Andy. This feature will be VERY nice. No expressions had definitely been an annoying thorn in my side on occasion. Thanks for taking the time to push this release out the door as well.
