in reply to Operator Associativity and Eliminating Left-Recursion in Parse::RecDescent

Thanks very much, a very very useful tutorial! I especially like the methodical and analytical approach very much.

    If you had posted that a week earlier, it would have been posted on the 8th anniversary of the OP!

    Thanks, fixes applied.

      Well, I just discovered the OP.

      Originally I wanted to email this to you, but I could not find a way in Perlmonks to do that. The private msg function only offers a tiny line, which did not seem to fit.

      So I posted it (which lowered my reputation a tiny bit).

      What would you suggest in this case?

      Thanks hexcoder

        It wasn't a complaint. I wasn't pointing out the date of your post because I found it annoying; I pointed it out because I thought it was cool!

        You could have put it into hexcoder's scratchpad, and messaged the link.

        (Correcting orthography is indeed often regarded as a waste of bandwidth. ;)
