Are you sure that deferred compilation will actually help? If you have a small module that sometimes pulls in a big one (like Carp / Carp::Heavy) it would make a significant difference. But deferring compilation of, say, 25% of the code? Besides, I try to avoid using "eval STRING" at almost any cost. It introduces the risk of having code that suddenly starts failing under specific circumstances. > If I were to look at the code to make specific suggestions (or > even write a patch, I dunno), would they be obsolete again soon > with the new design, or is the effort worth it? If you can produce a proof of concept, I'd glady incorporate it. -- Johan
