I'm messing with Parse::RecDescent and stumble upon a problem with nesting. Say I have this code for example:

use strict;
use Parse::RecDescent;

my $parser = Parse::RecDescent->new(q(
        start: part(s)

        part : tag      { print ">>> $item[1] <<<\n" }
             | raw

        tag  : stag raw etag { $return = "$item{stag} $item{raw} $item
+{etag}" }
        raw  : m{([^<]+)}

        stag : m{<open>}
        etag : m{<close>}
));

$parser->start(<DATA>);
__DATA__
<open> Some content <close> <open> some <open> more content <close> <c
+lose>

The result will be that the first (non nested) content is matched, but the other one (nested example) is not.

How to parse such nesting? I can see why it doesn't work, but I can't see the solution. The documentation unfortunately is not clear on this to me :(

All code is usually tested, but rarely trusted.
