The phrase you're looking for is "only perl can parse Perl", but if you look at Damian Conway's projects page at <http://www.yetanother.org/damian/projects.html> you'll see that he's planning a Parse::Perl module which will allow Perl (as opposed to perl) to parse Perl. My proposed module builds on that. And I realise that my description yesterday was slightly inaccurate. I said it would parse Perl approximately. A better description would be that it parses approximate Perl. Is that any clearer? Dave...
