Nice snippet, but a couple of problems: the outer lookahead needs to be //s, else eg: qr{(
x
)}x;
will fail.
Also, this will find parens in embedded code and comments and treat as captures. If that doesn't seem worth worrying about it'd be enough to add a caveat I guess, else I think you can mimic perl's simplistic parsing reasonable easily for the code (just count to the balancing close-brace). Comments may actually be the trickiest, since you'll need to know when //x is in force: qr{
(?x: # (comment)
)
(?-x: # (capture) )
}
Oops, another one: parens in [ ... ] should be ignored too; I'm not sure how easy those would be to parse, since not every ] closes the selection.
