Enlightened Monks!
I wanted to play around with Regexp::Grammars, but it seems even the basic stuff eludes me. Could someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
#!/usr/bin/perl
use v5.14;
my $sentence = "Show me the money";
my $grammar = qr{
<nocontext:>
<Sentence>
<rule: Sentence> <VerbGroup> <NounGroup>
<rule: VerbGroup> <Verb> | <Verb> me
<rule: Verb> <Word>
<rule: NounGroup> <Noun> | a <Noun> | the <Noun>
<rule: Noun> <Word>
<rule: Word> \w+
}x;
sub parse {
my $s = shift;
say "The sentence is: $s";
if ($s =~ $grammar) {
use Data::Dumper;
print Dumper %/;
}
else {
say "I did not understand you."
}
}
parse ($sentence);
I was expecting a data structure from which I could get $verb and $noun, but what I get instead is:
The sentence is: Show me the money
I did not understand you.
