Thank you for the example. Although the provided gramar sticks in a
endless loop, there are some hints in it that will help me to achieve
what I need. Especially the <rulevar: ..:> directive should be
extremly helpful.

Alas, new problems arose. A:

<rulevar: local $meaning = Set::Scalar->new>

didn´t work. Which is because of the '>'. So I tried a

<rulevar: local $meaning = do{Set::Scalar->new}>

which does the trick.

Mainly because I don´t really understand Parse::RecDescent on a good
level, I applied some of Marcels suggestions to my gramar instead
modifying his as I simply don´t understand how it works. My solution works
now 95% :-). As soon as I get the correct behaviour, I would be glad
to post the resulting code here for validation. Mainly because I feel
I´m doing some kind of "Low level P::RD" programming not using the
majority of its features/possibilities.


BTW: Does anybody know what happened to the perlmonks website?

Bye,
