Yes I have looked at it.

Are you aware that you can get the constructed AbstractSyntaxTree
printed?? so that when you are straigthen out parse problems, its will
be easier to spot errornous constructions, and perhaps get a clue why
they occured.  

enabling debugging for just one testcase:
You can also use puts/p/print statements inside your code the 
same way as in 'scanner.rb'.  In order to do that, you will have 
to "include Debuggable" into the Perl6Parser class.
In the TestPerl6Parser class you can now use the 'debug' keyword, 
For instance:     debug :test_repeat_range1

Can you get this debugging thing to work?    need any help?
 

BTW: Do you know if there exists testsuites that exercises this
user-friendly perl6 syntax ?
