Just generally on this series:

I think this would be a *lot* easier to read if all of these little regex decls could be split out into some "grammar" class, or other helper module/namespace. So e.g.:

	my $SCRIPT_QUOTE_RX = qr/['"\\]/;
Then:
> +	return $cc if $cc =~ /^(?:&&|\|\||>>|;;|<&|>&|<>|>\|)$/;
	my $SCRIPT_WHATEVER_RX = qr/
		^(?:
		&&
		|
		\|\|
		[...]
	/x;
etc., i.e. we could then make use of /x to add inline comments to these.
