Jumpin Jehosifat!
yes, exactly that!

take a look at my module called
Parse-Nibbler-0.23.tar.gz

I wrote it as a way to perform regular expressions
on a "window" of text in a file. (so you don't have
to load the entire file into a string before 
doing a regular expression on the thing)
so, it "nibbles" at a file as it parses it.
hence the name.

anyway, it is currently a bit messy,
and I plan on rewriting it as soon as
I get some time,

but it stores the positions of matches
on regular expressions in an array.
the array represents the current rules
being tried in a grammar. when a rule
succeeds, all the text pointed to by
the array is "swallowed".

but my approach is an example of exactly 
what you're looking for. have a gander.
