The following gist is referred to by the IRC conversation​:

  :my token SIGN { <[+-]> }
  :my token MANTISSA { \d+ '.'? \d* | '.' \d+ }

<TimToady> rakudo requires an extra semicolon after the closing brace,
rather than relying on the end-of-statement semantics of normal Perl 6

<TimToady> this is actually not in response to an RC entry, but was a
suggestion from TheDamian++
<TimToady> he wants to be able to have internal token declarations so
that P6 regexen can be ported to other languages
<masak> oh, TheDamian++
<vendethiel> masak​: you can do that ? COOL !
<masak> vendethiel​: yeah, I just learned.

From @Mouq

This was fixed sometime in the past year. Tests were added in Roast commit​:

commit d7d6f66a3ed879f6c4e66dda16c81c552b887c92
Author​: Mouq <alexmoquin@​gmail.com>
Date​: Wed Feb 11 12​:28​:42 2015 -0500

  Refactor S05-modifier/my.t for fudging and test for #​121229

Closing this ticket as resolved :)
