Damien I have downloaded and skimmed through the chapter on PetitParser. It looks fine to me, it is a clear explanation of what PP does, but it does not go beyond what I have already found in the sources I mentioned. I recognised all the worked examples (expression parser, JSON parser etc.) as things I had come across before. I am not sure I had seen the section on testing before; that may mean I had skipped it because I am generally rather lazy about programming tests.
What is clear to me, however, is that I was very unfair to say the documentation is sparse. As soon as I looked again at the Moose Book chapter, I saw an example which explained exactly the issue that tripped me up on 'not' vs. 'negate'. In other words, the only problem with the documentation is that I had not read it properly. I shall press on with my experiments, but I shall take good care to read everything I can find before raising queries.
