I'm quite happy about that name, assuming it truly describes what we've done. I also don't have a strong comp-sci background, so I appreciate "pedant mode." > Having said that it looks like an interesting module. Id be curious > as to what you use it for tho. After much laborious effort, trying to track all of the special rules for a complex build system (Bricolage) just became too tedious and error-prone. With a rules-based system, David drew a diagram of the of the rules and I implemented them (but with a wrapper around DFA::Simple. http://use.perl.org/~Ovid/journal/22298). Once this solution was in place, adding new rules was trivial, but DFA::Simple is a curious beast and was causing us problems.
