Degenerative cases aside, a very good test of actual code anyone would use in production in real life for a Perl parsing attempt is Test::More (since it has a few odd constructs and a good test suite), ExtUtils::MakeMaker and Test::Harness (both contain lots of old cruft and strange styles and decent test suites). PPI (Parse Perl Isolated) does a very good job. --
