Sorry about the lack of reply Randal... I have a nasty work email situation, so I should get to it shortly. But to answer your question, handling / is currently the most "fuzzy" part. It's the one character I had real problems with.

Currently, it's written to handle the most common cases only.

http://ali.as/PSP/source/Perl/Tokenizer/Classes.html line 144 in the browsable source code is the relavent section.

Since I don't have exposure to the relavent sections of the perl C source, it was fairly difficult, but I'm sure there's a method to use that covers the 99.9% standard.

With the difficulties in overcoming POD, __END__ etc tags, quote parsing, and the rest mostly solved, I wouldn't want to cancel the whole thing just because of a single character :)
