How to Parse Ruby

A different approach, which has served me well, is to study and understand Perl's parser/lexer, which are more intertwined than your grandmother's Friday night challah. Once you get that, understanding the MRI parser is a snap.

Perl cannot be parsed in the traditional sense of the word. The parse tree is unknowable until you're actually running.
