Hi all,
A (hopefully) quick question regarding Parse::RecDescent. I'm experimenting with it, trying to create my own grammars, parsers etc. Which works quite well. However I have a problem reading/using variables from the main programm (package) from within the grammar.
Example:
package TelnetClient::Functions;
..
{
    my $checksyntax;
    my $parser;
    my $grammar;

    sub init_parser
    {
        my $grammar = q§ ... §;
        my $parser = new Parse::RecDescent($grammar);
    }
}

[download]
etc. How do I refer to $checksyntax in the grammar? $::checksyntax does not work, and $TelnetClient::Functions::checksyntax is also non-existant when running the parser..
(I'm trying to make it so I can set the variable outside of the parser to indicate whether it should just check the syntax or do other things as well)
Thanks
C.
