Re: Recursive Descent Parser

I remember attending a talk by Damian Conway back in '01 (I think) about his Parse::RecDescent package in CPAN [1][2]. That seems like one of the older implementations (perhaps I am wrong and the Python one predates this one). There is also a FAQ in [3] that talks something more about the peculiar characteristics of this library. Sebastian, have you looked at Conway's implementation? If memory serves there is ANTLR and Coco/R (sp?) that are libs/apps to generate recursive parsers. Cheers.
