in reply to is Parse::RecDescent good for this job?
It will entirely depend on your needs. With Parse::RecDescent, you don't have to bother too much with the actual parsing, all you need to do is write the grammar, and focus on the action.
But you pay a price. Parse::RecDescent isn't very fast. It may be fast enough for your needs, but if it isn't, or you think that learning the grammar of Parse::RecDescent isn't worth the hassle, you can whip up your own parser - with such a trivial structure, that shouldn't be too hard.
So, the answer is, "yes, Parse::RecDescent can certainly do that, but do you really need such a heavy tool?".
