Regardless of the implementation, you are right on. It would be such an
enjoyable thing to have a standard "Perl 5.x" lib of meta-syntax
definitions that could serve as both parser logic and function mappings.
The day you can execute a Perl5 test script successfully within that
framework is a cool, cool day.
