I’m giving a presentation from Mastering Perl while I’m in Houston next week.

Perl v5.10 added several features that take (ir)regular expressions to a new level. With grammars and recursion, a single regex can now process things such as HTML and JSON. After going through these features, I’ll show how Randal Schwartz used them in his tiny JSON parser. This discussion also appears in chapter 2 of Mastering Perl, 2nd Edition, which you can read for free through O’Reilly’s Early Release program.
