Subject: Fails messily if the grammar does not end in a newline
The attached grammar causes the error below when run through parse(). Note that it is missing a newline at the end of the file. If you add a newline it works fine. It would be nice if Parse::ABNF emitted an error or warning about the missing newline. Variable "$errortext" is not available at /usr/local/perl/5.10.0/lib/site_perl/5.10.0/Parse/RecDescent.pm line 2906, <> line 61. Variable "$errorprefix" is not available at /usr/local/perl/5.10.0/lib/site_perl/5.10.0/Parse/RecDescent.pm line 2906, <> line 61. Use of uninitialized value $errorprefix in formline at /usr/local/perl/5.10.0/lib/site_perl/5.10.0/Parse/RecDescent.pm line 2850, <> line 61.

Come from a bug in Parse::RecDescent. CPAN will tell you 1.94 is the latest version due to another "bug" in Parse::RecDescent.

Yep, that's exactly what's happening. :( -- E: "Would you want to maintain a 5000 line Perl program?" d: "Why would you write a 5000 line program?"
