The examples Directory

The Pegex git-repository/code-base is here: <https://github.com/ingydotnet/pegex-pm>. It contains a directory of example parsers:

"calculator1.pl": This an arithmetic expression parser and evaluator. It uses the precedence climbing method to deal with operator precedence.
"calculator2.pl": This is the same as above, except it uses a precedence table, and the shunting yard algorithm, to handle precedence.
