"Only Perl can parse Perl" is in fact a well known motto among Perl people.
Perl language is definitely "quite unusual". Consider to write a stand
alone customized filter, instead of integrate it in a general one.
Also, somewhere in Perl source code it _has_ to be a parser. I never look
into the code, but it might be enough simple to get and use it.... or it
might be a unrecoverable mess.

Ciao.
