IMPORTANT NOTES

The Parse::Yapp pod section is the main documentation and it assumes you already have a good knowledge of yacc. If not, I suggest the GNU Bison manual which is a very good tutorial to LALR parsing and yacc grammar syntax.

The yapp frontend has its own documentation using either 'perldoc yapp' or (on systems with man pages) 'man yapp'.

Any help on improving those documentations is very welcome.

DESCRIPTION

This is the production release of the Parse::Yapp parser generator.

It lets you create Perl OO fully reentrant LALR(1) parser modules (see the Yapp.pm pod pages for more details) and has been designed to be functionally as close as possible to yacc, but using the full power of Perl and opened for enhancements.

REQUIREMENTS

Requires perl5.004 or better :)

It is written only in Perl, with standard distribution modules, so you don't need any compiler nor special modules.

INSTALLATION

perl Makefile.PL make make test make install

WARRANTY

This software comes with absolutly NO WARRANTY of any kind. I just hope it can be useful.
