So I just did a more complex example by hand, now I need to figure out a way to iterate across such a complex data structure :/


# <html lang="<qd>lang</>">
#   (sql mode="mask" table="users")
#     <query>
#        SELECT * FROM users
#     </>
#     <mask>
#       Profile : [link action="profile" 
#                     username="<d>username</>"
#                 ]<d>username</>[/link]
#       <br/>
#     </>
#   (/)  
# </>




#TODO: translate above, into this :

@_ = (
        {  type => '<',
          value => 'html',
           attr => { lang => ( { type => '<', value => 'qd' },
                               { type => 'data', value => 'lang' },
                               { type => '>' } )
                   }
        },

        {  type => '(',
          value => 'sql',
           attr => { mode => 'mask', table => 'users' }
        },

             { type => '<', value => 'query' },
             { type => 'data', value => 'SELECT * FROM users' },
             { type => '>' },


             { type => '<', value => 'mask' },
             { type => 'd', value => 'Profile : ' },


                  { type => '[',
                   value => 'link',
                    attr => {
                              action => 'profile',
                            username => (
                                           { type => '<', value => 'd'
+ },
                                           { type => 'data', value => 
+'username' },
                                           { type => '>' }
                                        )
                            }
                  },
                        { type => '<', value => 'd' },
                        { type => 'data', value => 'username' },
                        { type => '>' },

                 { type => ']' },

                 { type => 'data', value => '<br/>' },

             { type => '>' },

         { type => ')' },

      { type => '>' }

     );

What's going to make life fun is the recursive nature of the thing, each line may have attr's which then may have muliple lines to describe them.
