The approach I would have taken:


The hypothesis is

Perl cannot be parsed

which is to say

There exists a program for which two instance of the Perl parser produce different output

which is true if

There exists a function call in a program for which two instance of the Perl parser have different prototypes for the named function.

This is actually very simple to prove by example.

However, you tried to prove this by counter-proof. That means you need to disprove the counter-hypothesis

For every function call in every program, every instance of the Perl parser will have the same prototype for the named function.

No problem there either. This can be disprove with the same example.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • 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).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
