I haven't read everything yet, but I thought I'd post a link to a tutorial of mine before I come back to this. Operator Associativity and Eliminating Left-Recursion in Parse::RecDescent was written for Parse::RecDescent, but the principles apply to other LL parsers too.

Quickly, I think 

expr : expr expr binop
       { [ BINOP => [ $item[3], $item[1], $item[2] ] ] }

     | term

[download]

can be transformed into 

expr  : term { push($item[1]) } expr_

      | term

expr_ : expr binop
        { [ BINOP => [ $item[2], pop(), $item[1] ] ] }

[download]

Factoring out common prefixes for speed: 

expr   : term { push($item[1]) } expr_1

expr_1 : expr_2

       | # Automatic match
         { pop() }

expr_2 : expr binop
         { [ BINOP => [ $item[2], pop(), $item[1] ] ] }

[download]

Inlining expr_2 for simplicity: 

expr  : term { push($item[1]) } expr_

expr_ : expr binop
        { [ BINOP => [ $item[2], pop(), $item[1] ] ] }

      | # Automatic match
         { pop() }

In short, keep looking for terms until you meet something that isn't (an operator), then eat up the last two terms that have been met.

I'll come back later to verify this and put it into 5.10 regex syntax.
