The following module was proposed for inclusion in the Module List: modid: Parse::ABNF DSLIP: cmpOp description: Augmented Backus-Naur Form (RFC 2234) userid: MATTHEWG (Matthew Sachs) chapterid: 11 (String_Lang_Text_Proc) communities: http://lists.zevils.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/parse-abnf similar: rationale: ABNF is a grammar that is often used in Internet standards documents (RFCs) to describe a protocol. By using this specification directly, it is easier to make correct and compliant implementations - or at least you can blame me instead of yourself when your implementation isn't compliant! Also, the object has methods to translate an ABNF rule into an English description of the rule. This is nice for things like specifying command-line or configuration file syntax, because one can easily generate online help or even let the user modify the syntax. enteredby: MATTHEWG (Matthew Sachs) enteredon: Tue Jul 24 06:17:18 2001 GMT The resulting entry would be: Parse:: ::ABNF cmpOp Augmented Backus-Naur Form (RFC 2234) MATTHEWG Thanks for registering, The Pause Team PS: The following links are only valid for module list maintainers: Registration form with editing capabilities: https://pause.perl.org/pause/authenquery?ACTION=add_mod&USERID=44000000_134d847b92326815&SUBMIT_pause99_add_mod_preview=1 Immediate (one click) registration: https://pause.perl.org/pause/authenquery?ACTION=add_mod&USERID=44000000_134d847b92326815&SUBMIT_pause99_add_mod_insertit=1
