Perl verson: 5.12.3 Operating System: Mac OS X 10.7.3 (Lion) Darwin 11.3.0 Darwin Kernel Version 11.3.0 x86_64 It appears that the maintainers of Parse::RecDescent did a Very Bad Thing and changed the API by adding a new argument to _parserepeat() in the middle of existing arguments (rather than the end, which would have been much more Perlish). The attached patch for CSS/Parse/CompiledGrammar.pm appears to resolve the issue.

I made the change to Parse::RecDescent. I changed an internal API, but didn't realize that it would affect all of the precompiled parsers out there, nor did I realize just how many precompiled parsers existed. I just released 1.967_008 of Parse::RecDescent to fix the issue, please do not patch your precompiled grammars. Here's the git commit with a more in-depth explanation of the changes: https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=74593&results=37cbf6e9455f207d20eab8131971d55b
