Why would the following grammar not parse the test case?  Note: it's

use Parse::RecDescent;

my $parse = Parse::RecDescent->new(join '', <DATA>) or die "Bad Grammar!";

my $a = "0800-0850 X";
my $x = $parse->cronSeg($a);
if ($x)
{
     print "x=$x $a parsed successfully!\n";
}
else
{
     print "$a is NOT parsable!!\n";
