It's never *completely* possible to parse Perl code outside of running
some of the Perl code with perl, including all the include files.  For
an examination on this, see:

        <http://www.perlmonks.org/index.pl?node_id=44722>

Now, can you get close?  Yes.  Will there be times that it'll
be wrong?  Certainly, proof included there.

Hence, the maxim:  "Nothing can parse Perl but /usr/bin/perl".
