$text =~ /<Diff.file>/; # Invoke through grammar
In Apocalypse 5, Larry uses ::, not . to separate grammar and rule names.

This is a method call.

Update: As Juerd rightly points out, there is a distinction between a grammer and a class, and their rules and methods. However, the same syntax is used to call a rule from a grammer, as a grammer can inherit from other grammer(s), delegate to other grammers, and possibly even autogenerate rules. In these cases, the rule needs to be treated as a method call.

Erik

    file is a rule, not a method. (Diff is a grammar, not a class. -- There is a parallel, but Damian and Larry interpret it differently)
