You got great technical answers already. I was pleased to learn from haukex about Syntax::Collector myself. What I want to address is this–

I have sought my answer in your pages without success, perhaps for want of the proper keywords. Apologies if my humble query has been addressed already.

This isn't StackOverlflow. PerlMonks welcomes all genuine questions and the monks understand that ideas and practices evolve. Your conscientiousness is appreciated and you can always feel comfortable asking. A question might indeed have been answered, maybe even answered perfectly, in 2003, or 2017, for that matter, but a smarter monk or a better module might be available in 2018, and the aggressive closing of questions as duplicates is part of why I, at least, dislike SO.
