parser using perl

Hi,

I am trying to extract information from a file that follows the syntax
of a high level language (something like C++)
The script just needs to understand a very minuscule portion of this
language to do this. It does not have to
know the complete high level language. I just wanted to know any
modules are available within perl that makes
this job easier. I feel it is possible to do the complete work in
perl, but I might be wrong. Especially around the
recursion that languages support. The other option I have is to use a
public domain parser like Bison and parse
the input, build some data structure that perl can lookup and do the processing.

I would like to know experience of people on this forum ...

Regards
.
