Funny you should ask. I just wrote a *very* small parser last night
in perl for handling a simple scheme-ish syntax (since perl's native
support for data files with any heirarchical structure is not so
good).
I'd be glad to share it once I clean it up. It's somewhat primitive,
and right now has to read the entire file into RAM to parse it, but
for most files that's not a problem.
It handles lists of strings, other lists, and numbers, and translates
them to perl references to lists of strings, references to other
lists, and numbers.
