Parse::RecDescent is used to create parsers, yet there already exists a parser for URIs. URI and extention URI::QueryParam should do the trick.

Update: Here's an example:

use URI             qw( );
use URI::QueryParam qw( );

foreach (
   'http://www.perlmonks.org/index.pl?node_id=629153',
   'http://www.perlmonks.org/index.pl?node=Recently%20Active%20Threads
+',
) {
   my $uri = URI->new($_);
   my @node_ids    = $uri->query_param('node_id');
   my @node_titles = $uri->query_param('node');

   if (  (@node_ids && @node_titles)
      || @node_ids    > 2
      || @node_titles > 2
   ) {
      warn("$uri: Error: Bad uri\n");
   }

   if (!@node_ids && !@node_titles) {
      warn("$uri: Warning: Unrecognized uri\n");
      next;
   }

   if (@node_ids) {
      print("$uri: By Id ($node_ids[0])\n");
   }

   if (@node_titles) {
      print("$uri: By Title ($node_titles[0])\n");
   }
}

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
