in reply to Parsing nested parentheses

AFAIK, CPAN modules for matching balanced text are only going to return what is in the parens, not filter out information inside them. You would use the module to grab the text, then parse it yourself. A few modules I can think of are Text::Balanced and Regexp::Common::balanced.

I wanted to explore how Perl's closures can be manipulated, and ended up creating an object system by accident.
