Good - that's a start ;-)

Your script should include:

$parser configure -final 1

at the end, just to wind-up the parser.  As it is, I would expect
it to at least not produce an error, if not to emit "world".

There is already an open bug on "-final" in the SF bug
tracker (#413341).  Please feel free to append your comments
to that bug.  The bug is currently assigned to Mats, and may be
worthwhile reminding him (gently) to fix it ;-)

Of course, if you can provide a patch I would be only too
happy to incorporate it myself and close the bug report if
it is fixed.

Fixed.  You are now subscribed.  (New subscribers must be
approved, to avoid spammers having access to the list).

Cheers,
