Current documentation: https://docs.perl6.org/language/regexes.html

I know the suggest the docs instead, but I kinda like reading the design docs http://design.perl6.org/S05.html it has a bit more verbiage about the features of perl6.

Also, that design doc is up today, where as the OP linked to the Apocalypse, which is more of a collection of all the requirements gathering they did for perl6, not whats currently being discussed/implemented as part of the language.

Perl 6 regexes are really awesome and I hope the eventually become the "standard" system in other environments the way other perlisms did.
