Conclusions and Future Work

There is a shortage of compiler toolkits in CPAN/Perl 5. It will be beneficial to have a CPAN wider covering of translator components: attribute grammars, tree transformations tools and code generator generators (see iburg [11]).

This work presented Parse::Eyapp, a work in progress in that direction. Yacc and Parse::Yapp programmers will feel at home in Parse::Eyapp. Additionally to the beneficial mature approach to parsing provided by Yacc-like parser generators, Parse::Eyapp delivers a set of extensions that give support to the later phases of text processing.
