The idea of syntactic macros is to avoid any parsing.

This makes them so useful.

Introducing an external parser for Perl would effectively reduce the approach to the same level of reliability like classic source filters.

I'd rather live with that limitation.

Edit

Fwiw: I already tried combining this approach with Keyword::Simple, but this is hindered by an internal bug.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":


  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
