However you decide to translate the format, you will want to have a good description of the format, which is provided by a grammar. Once you have a grammar, converting into a format suitable for P::RD should be fairly straightforward.
From your example format, a coarse version of the grammar would be something like
<page> := /page p\d+ \{/ <question>* /\}/
<question> := /question \w+ {/ <label> <choices> /\}/
<label> := /label \{ [^}]+ \}/
<choices> := /single {/ <choice>+ /\}/
<choice> := /\d+ (Yes|No)/
where I have not included whitespace elements in the regexes.
Here the nesting, or hierarchy is represented by different grammar elements contained inside others.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
