Parse::RecDescent::FAQ - the official, authorized FAQ for Parse::RecDescent.

You can see the original FAQ (still useful) at Parse::RecDescent::FAQ::Original. It is a document that I grew over about a decade, but I no longer have time for editing and categorizing other people's posts to fit them into POD format and to collect answers.

But I still scan Google alerts for new recdescent posts daily. You may read what I have found to be useful at my my parse-recdescent tagged delicious bookmarks.

You will also find the mailing list archives to be of some help or you could subscribe to the mailing list itself.

I occasionally encounter a recent hot question and will post it right here

Even if you read the Parse::RecDescent very closely, you will not be sure of how to get the return data back from a top-level rule. All the examples are $parser->startrule($text) or die without any attempts to extract the return value.

However, thanks to Rob Kinyon's hard work, we have an answer:

  $tree = $parser->startrule( $text ) or die "Cannot parse"
