And I also changed /\S+/ to /\S+(?!\S)/ to make sure each elem was a maximum-length word.
Useless. P::RD will not backtrack through /.../. They always match as much as possible.
For example,
use Data::Dumper qw( Dumper );
use Parse::RecDescent ();
my $p = Parse::RecDescent->new(<<'__END_OF_GRAMMAR__');
parse : /a*/ /a/ /\Z/ { [ $item[1], $item[2] ] }
__END_OF_GRAMMAR__
print(Dumper($p->parse('aaaaa')));
outputs
$VAR1 = undef;
I almost said "The \b in /\d+\b/ is also useless.", but it turns "2foo bar" into an error.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
