Hi, Apache::Registry slurps in your Perl modules as strings and then evals them.
I thought I could save some RAM by stripping out comments and whitespace before the eval step - so I quickly wrote a Registry-like handler that strips comments. Alas, the experiment failed - I saw no difference in RAM usage at all! I suspect that mod_perl is stripping them for me. But isn't a large string allocated in RAM prior to the eval? Are there any merits in a comment stripping pre-processing step in a Registry-like handler?
