[Moose-dev] petit parser - exceeded maximum number of instance variables

I learned something today. While talking about the maximum number of instance variabes I always thought it is a limit per class. But now I know it is a limit on an object. As I reached 230 instance variables I started to split the parser into two. But now I reached the limit and cannot add instance variables.

I need some ideas about how to structure the parser. I think it will be too hard to find parts of the grammar that are distinct so it would be possible to separate them into different classes. Another way would be to access some of the parser via method calls instead of accessing the instVar parsers.

So does anybody has some experience in how to structure parsers?

thanks,

Norbert
