Regexp::Grammars::Common::String Regexp::Grammars is just too useful to not use, but too pesky and confusing for new people. Some of the more complex things involve string extraction and escape-handling, and I seriously spent the better part 2 hours learning how to make this work. So, even if this module is not immediately useful, it may serve as an educational tool for others. I probably should have delved deeper into the Regexp::Common Family, but I couldn't find one in there that did exactly what I wanted. At present, this module only provides one rule, "String", but I will probably add a few more later. INSTALLATION This is a Perl module distribution.
