Re: Parsing Cobol Program

Hi, and welcome!

I can suggest two options:

Write your own parser
Use something like Parse::RecDescent which is a general parser

If you are new to Perl, this site is a great resource, but you should also have some Perl books to hand. The O'Reilly books are terrific and I highly recommend them.
