Just a plain vanilla question... no speculation... Well, two questions. And I do not really know Moose, so if the answer is yes, I will not be able to write such a script.	[reply]

Pardon my sarcasm, I wasn't joking about you. =) I couldn't resist commenting on this attitude to throw in a piece of an unknown language, requesting a solution and to threaten speculators with downvotes...

What is your question? The question is right there in the title. How would you approach the task of parsing this data? "use Parse::RecDescent;" is not an answer; because it does not begin to explain how to go about deriving a grammar to encapsulate the source. With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday' Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error. "Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority". In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.	[reply]

Here is an example of a grammer:http://json.org and here is a straightforward translation into a regex based parser JSON parser as a single Perl Regex. This might be a model for the parser you require. (Straightforward in the sense of a one-to-one translation, not in the sense of simple.)	[reply]

It doesn't seem to be a data structure it's code, with `[ key : value , ]` hashes and `{ code }` blocks. At least I guess so, the example given has at least one syntax error, a comma is missing (between `Real:` and `String:`) With the sparse information provided it doesn't make sense to speculate.š IMHO one more case of How (Not) To Ask A Question Cheers Rolf ( addicted to the Perl Programming Language) š) oops, sorry just realizing that speculations are verboten... ;-)	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Here is an example of a grammer Thanks, but the first problem is deriving the grammar. It doesn't yet exist.
