I think a repository of RecDescent grammars is an excellent
idea. I don't think they should be included in the module distribution itself for fear of excessive bloat.
A couple of alternatives:
-
Someone could volunteer to maintain a Parse::RecDescent::Grammar pseudo-module, that aggregates
all the contributed grammars. There could even be a front-end analogous to Regexp::Common.
-
We could just use Regexp::Common directly, by providing a
top-level $RE{grammar} namespace.
-
We could ask for a RECDESCENT (pseudo)ID on CPAN and use
that directory to house RecDescent grammars.
-
Someone could set up a web-site that allowed people to submit and then update their grammars
I would support any of these approaches, though, unfortunately, I don't have the spare capacity to implement any of them myself. Personally, I favour the P::RD::G approach, since it puts the grammars on the CPAN, in the correct namespace, where search.cpan.org is likely to draw them to the attention of potential beneficiaries.
