in reply to Basics of parsing (using RTF as a testbed)

I would look at how tilly handles parsing in Text::xSV. It's very different from the Parse::RecDescent type of parsers and may not be applicable to what you're working on. But, it may be useful. :-)

Being right, does not endow the right to be rude; politeness costs nothing.
Being unknowing, is not the same as being stupid.
Expressing a contrary opinion, whether to the individual or the group, is more often a sign of deeper thought than of cantankerous belligerence.
Do not mistake your goals as the only goals; your opinion as the only opinion; your confidence as correctness. Saying you know better is not the same as explaining you know better.
