In case it helps speed things up for you, here's a minimalist version of your code that allows for the grammar to be typed/pasted into a separate text box, so you can modify the grammar on the fly without having to re-edit and re-start the script:
#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use Tk; use Parse::RecDescent; my $mw = new MainWindow; my $frm = $mw->Frame()->pack(); my $mw1 = $frm->Text()->pack(-side => 'left'); my $mw2 = $frm->Text()->pack(-side => 'left'); my $mw3 = $mw->Button(-text=>"Check brackets", -command => [ \&parser, $mw1, $mw2 ] )->pack(); MainLoop; sub parser { my ($grm,$txt) = @_; my $grammar = $grm->get('1.0','end'); my $parser = Parse::RecDescent->new($grammar); if ( !defined( $parser )) { warn "BAD GRAMMAR\n"; return; } if ( defined( $parser->startrule( $txt->get( "1.0", "end" )))) { print "NO ERROR\n"; } else { print "TEXT COULD NOT BE PARSED\n"; } }
As you play with that, you'll notice that Parse::RecDescent gives informative messages about problems with the grammar when it's not usable (but you probably know that already).
