Re:  parsing markup with Perl
Oh, and whether "can't do with regex" is the same as "can't do with Perl".

My recollection is that the real crux of the debate amounted to whether "can't do X" and "shouldn't do X" mean the same thing!

review process, wrong experience, wrong texting, etc). I don't think Perl
has a good track record, based on what I have seen at least. Imho it is too
risky.
Bravo.

In an earlier encounter on this list, I got some pushback from people
who said parsing XML with regular expressions worked for them. I
believe them.

I just don't want to maintain their code.
