Thanks for your responses, it looks like .annotate is what I am after.

How do I extract the line number from the match object and pass it to
an .annotate directive? I searched the parrot, rakudo and cardinal
source to find that '.annotate' was documented in pdd19, but I didn't
find it being used in any of the HLL compilers? Maybe I just have an
old check out.

I am working on a language implementation of pascal,
http://code.google.com/p/porcupinepascal/ for my dissertation.

I am by no means a fan of pascal, all the cool languages already had
implementations and I wanted to start from scratch.
