Ah, you are completely right about \N, of course. I'm just a blockhead ;(
Concerning quotes: I think that the way I structured mine is easier to convert from logic. For instance, I defined a quoted string as:
- start quote
- string of (non-quote or backslashed quote) characters
- end quote
Which I then translated into (comments added this time):
rule quoted_string
{
" # start quote
[ # string
<-["]>+: # non quote characters
| # or
[ <after \\ > " ] # backslashed quote character
]* # end string
" # end quote
}
It was then shown how to make it "dynamic" by simply adding an argument and subsituting that argument in for the quote delimeter. While yours is much more elegant and efficient, I thought that my example was easier to follow in the current context.

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).
