The (Perl) programmers I know who do lots of parsing tend to avoid Parse::RecDescent because it's so slow. They all use Parse::YAPP which is must faster. You might want to give that a spin instead. It's meant to be yacc-compatible, so if you're familiar with that already then you're in good company.

It would be interesting to see a real-world comparison between the two. (hint hint :-)

    Yes, indeed. :) I think both bart and Corion suggested I use Parse::YAPP, so you're in good company. The tokenizer was my project for last week and I've got another project for the next fortnight, but I will definitely give it a burl when I get the chance. After all, it works (and we can leave it running overnight). ;)

    I'm not really from the yacc/bison/(f)lex crowd, but I am familiar with Benchmark, so maybe I'll take a hint and grant your wish.
