Well, can you reasonably expect much else? It's a backported feature from perl6, constrained by the existing syntax of perl5. Of course it won't have the syntatic sugar.
One of the other cool capabilities of perl6 is the rules system, expanding on regexs so you can work with full on grammars. The perl6 grammar, written in perl6:

- elblanco 16y agoNo, I'm simply stating that I really like what they're doing with Perl 6 so far. I'm excited by the new grammar system immensely. It's clear that doing it in an older syntax is clearly less elegant. However, it's very impressive though that the back ports of Perl 6 features to Perl 5 are proceeding relatively nicely though. The work on Perl 6 has definitely been a boon to 5.
