How to parse a new computer language in Perl?

[Davy]

Hi all,

I was told that when design a new computer language, I need something
like yacc to define the language parser principle. And other people
told me that XML can be used to parse the computer language.

Please recommand a simple computer language parser module in Perl.

Best regards,
Davy

You want a parser generator. Search CPAN (http://search.cpan.org/)
for "parser". You'll find at least Parse::RecDescent, probably more.
