I think it's that the example in the documentation is in error,
in that it uses single quotes q,
whereas it should use double quotes qq.
(It'd make sense if it was double quotes,
but in single quotes the backslash is special only when
it occurs in front of the closing bracket: q{ ... \} ... },
'...\'... ', etc.)
The real problem I'm having is that it seems to me that
Parse::RecDescent doesn't distinguish between \z and \Z.
I have to use /\n|\z/ (or /\n|\Z/) to do what /\Z/ is supposed to do.
Can anyone confirm if that's the case?
