Re: Parse::RecDescent Woes

Great work !!
ehm, yeah, better use XML and find a way for a strict DTD to avoid minor bugs arising from spelling errors and create an appropriate XSLT to convert from XML into what you need in your ecd file, so you parse xml but deliver *.ecd files.
Mhm, I guess thats a point for perl in processing XML, eh ?

Have a nice day
All decision is left to your taste

I have to admit that I'm an XML-newbie. I personally want to move to XML, because the ECD format already looks kinda-sorta like XML. Ideally, the ECD format would disappear, and there would be an XECD format that would have a nice DTD and would contain all the same information the normal ECD format does right now..... and all our parsing troubles would go away. The decision is not really up to me, though -- I'm just a grunt. ;-)	[reply]
