Eak, I forgot that academics can make a simple problem into
something much more complicated... ;)
Perl incorporates one of the most powerful Regular
Expression engine in existance. You can extract what's
between those brackets VERY quickly using:
my $unbracketed = $bracketed =~ /\(.*\)/;
I love laziness - perhaps that is why I'm a student :D

NB: The algorithm you showed is useful for compiled
languages, but not in Perl.
Since perl has to turn your code into bytecode instructions
and execute them one by one, the overhead is greater than
the benifit from the algorithm.
If you find you are doing something simple in many lines
there is likely to be a better Perlish way. TIMTOWTOI.
