comment on

With this one-off script, no. The script is good at what it does. My comments were only things that jumped out as low-hanging fruit. In fact, beyond those couple of changes, I would probably not make any other changes to this.

My goal for processing org-mode files with Perl (not this script) would be as I listed above - manipulating the files, nodes, and properties / drawers. educated_foo stated below, "only org-mode can parse Org". I agree with that mostly. I would love to see the org community stabilize the format, and let org-mode (or Vaporware::Org-mode.pm) respond to the data within that format. The content of the properties and nodes, based on how the configuration is set, determine how the library reacts.

This script solves a very focused problem, and I am not suggesting that that scope be broadened, just that some of the edge cases in parsing some of the org-mode files that may be seen get fixed.

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.
