Perl 5.10 already supports recursive=descent matching, via the new (?<name>...) and (?&name) constructs. This technique makes it possible to use regexes to recognize complex, hierarchical--and even recursive-- textual structures. The problem is that Perl 5.10 doesn't provide any support for extracting that hierarchical data into nested data structures. In other words, using Perl 5.10 you can match complex data, but not parse it into an internally useful form.
