One of the first things I did when started this project was to spend a few hours googling ASM parsers in perl. I found none that did not directly affect registers and stack, instead of variables that acted as registers and stack, so I decided to write my own.
It seems I was too narrow in my search. This parser you showed me is basically what I want, and had I found it when I started I would have used it, instead of my own.
As it stands now, I would love to use it, and now need to sit down and figure out how to create grammar rules for ASM instructions (registers, stack, and flags all need to be touched.) and then most likely I will rewrite my whole code and drop several thousand lines from it. :)
Thus, my new goal is to learn how this works. Of course, any general (or specific!) tips on either my code, or the CPAN parser would be amazing, since as noted above, obviously I don't really know what I'm doing. Thank you all for your help.

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• 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).
