Pegex - Perl 6 Rules for Everyone

The best part of Perl 6 is "Perl 6 Rules"<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perl_6_rules>, a
"PEG"<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parsing_expression_grammar>
parsing language and a replacement for Perl 5 regular expressions.It is a simple and 
readable way to define new languages, includingPerl 6 itself.

"Ingy döt Net"<http://ingy.net/> has taken the best ideas from Perl 6 Rules and created 
an "Acmeist"<http://acmeism.org/> parsing language called 
"Pegex"<http://www.pegex.org/>. Pegex can be used to define new
languages that work the same in Perl, Python, Ruby, JavaScript 
and any other languages that support Pegex.

In this talk, Ingy will show you how to use Pegex in Perl, as simply as using a 
regex. He'll also demonstrate how he is using Pegex as the basis
of his Acmeist projects like "YAML"<http://yaml.org/>,
"TestML"<http://testml.org/>, "JSYNC"<http://jsync.org/> and
"C'Dent"<http://cdent.org/>.
