The Gnaw talk got me thinking about how I solve many of my own
parsing problems. I have typically not gone the "deep" route of using
something like Parse::RecDescent because it seems like overkill from what I typically do and the files I typically parse are usually such an unpredictable mess that it almost seems easier
to not craft a grammar.
Does this make sense? Is there an acknowledged tipping point where it makes sense to implement a formal grammar rather than gentle poking with regexes? What is it?
