leriksen has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I'm presenting a talk on my experiences of Parse::RecDescent for the Open Source Developers Conference 2005. But I think it would be interesting to gather a wider range of experience, so I'm asking for other monks experiences and opinions on the module.

It does have a fearsome reputation, mainly ( I feel) due to the complex area it addresses.

How was your first experience ?
Did you go on to use it for other projects ?
Did you attain mastery ?
Are you scared to ever go back ?

Tips, triumphs and tragedies are all welcome!
