[Parseperl-discuss] Proposed PPIx::Regexp

[<har...@co...>]

Dear list,

Currently there is no satisfactory (to me, at least) tool to parse regular expressions. Regexp::Parse has been fallow for three or four years, and complains mightily under Perl 5.010 unless patched.

My proposal is a regular expression parser that supports Perl 5.010 and provides the PPI navigational interface. I do not anticipate mutators (other than perhaps something to get rid of insignificant tokens). I also do not anticipate actually subclassing PPI elements, since there does not appear to be a documented way to do this.

Thoughts? Questions?
