I didn't put much effort into translating the okstraperl stuff into 
english because all the entity names are in german. All the okstra 
documentation is in german too. Not very much of a surprise for a 
standard describing the way the german administration manages their roads.

Maybe the express2perl part (in the express2perl subdirectory) is more 
interesting for an international audience.

express2perl may be interesting for you if you want to parse express 
code to do something with it. I've startet the projekt to automaticaly 
generate perl-code out of express descriptions. Well, aktually i'm far 
from that...

My first attemt to parse the code can be visited in the files
in
http://savannah.nongnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/okstraperl/okstraperl/express2perl/
If tried to parse the express code without Parse::RecDescent. Not an 
easy job to do.
Only 
http://savannah.nongnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/okstraperl/okstraperl/express2perl/okstra-parse.pl
uses Parse::RecDescent. The other files will have to be rewritten.
