Thank-you very much for leading me in the right direction... ++ to you. Just 2 days ago I didn't know anything about Parse:RecDescent... and now I wrote my first simple grammar to it... I don't know much about grammars, but I'm learning. That's why it's nice that someone can take a look at what I've done and give me pointers, etc.

One thing I haven't figured out, but now have some working code to play with, are the $return value 'stuff' (I was just guessing/hacking at it). Also, what you've done here does exactly what I want, return just the variable names (which I will use somewhere else in my code)... I'm not sure what you mean by missing "array_names" and "variables within parenthesized expressions", so I think I'll have a look into that as well.

I appreciate your time. What references do you use for this sort of thing? I've been reading the .pod files...
