Many thanks for the reply. I'm glad to see you've looked beyond the specific implementation. Your ideas are certainly worth thought.
I will almost certainly play with the idea in your 2nd point. I may be painting myself into a corner with my current recursive implementation. Your idea seems a lot more flexible, and will probably lead to definitions that are simpler to understand (at least for some definition of "understand").
I must admit the Prolog-esque solution sounds like a lot of fun. I'm not sure it would be worth the conceptual hurdle, but then again, maybe it would! Hmm.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
