in thread Block-structured language parsing using a Perl module?

Thanks for the link. I've pulled the pdf and will give it a read over the next few days.

Though I do so with a great deal of skeptisism. P::RD (used to?) commits every one of my cardinal sins:

  1. horrible API;
  2. lousy documentation;
  3. useless diagnostics;
  4. glacial performance;

Maybe Regexp::Grammars does better, but on a cursory inspection, I do not hold out much hope :(


With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday'
Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".
In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.

The start of some sanity?

    I don't know a lot about it. I did have to deal with it once in a program which took commands in an sql-like syntax and we had it pre-compile the the grammar and save it instead of compiling it on each load, which did make a difference IIRC. It was a while ago.
