Re^5: Refactoring challenge.

From browsing PM, seems like you a good place to be using Text::Balanced or maybe Parse::Recdesent. Unfortunately I'm still learning how to do this myself, so I can't help with the code.

a good place to be using Text::Balanced or maybe Parse::Recdesent. Not really. You see, besides that they will only really work on a complete strings, not a partial string as here, they are so slow in use, cumbersome to learn to use, and so difficult to debug with, that I wouldn't recommend them to anyone, never mind use them myself. Examine what is said, not who speaks. Silence betokens consent. Love the truth but pardon error.	[reply]
