not really, for a syntax tree you would need an [OP, arg1, arg2] format.

this

["B", "'", "+", ["C", "*", "D"], "'"]]

doesn't help without further parsing because precedence is still not resolved.

Rather

[ "or", [ "not" , "B" ] , [ "not", [ "and", "C", "D"] ] ]

without recursive parsing hard to achieve, I just delegated the hard part to Perl, deliberately ignoring what the OP didn't tell us yet.

edit

For instance if the = is not an assignment but a condition, he would want solutions for this equation system...

(which I could produce at least by brute force for small variable sets, if we had a guarantied format)
