Hey all, This may be of broader interest.
Cheers, jas. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Jason Stewart <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Sep 9, 2006 4:03 PM Subject: Re: notes from call - xerces-perl status Hey all, I've been fantastically busy with xerces lately - things are moving really well. For many years I have been using SWIG to auto-wrap all the user-visible C++ classes in Xerces-C to create the Perl API. The output of SWIG has been a single *very* large C++ file that creates all the glue code for moving data back and forth between Perl and Xerces-C. Well, that single file was getting larger and larger as the API grew, and it has been unmanageable for years, but it finally become more than I could stomach, so I split it! This will be a user-visible change because before users could say: use XML::Xerces; and have access to all API classes, but now for example they must use: use XML::Xerces::DOM if they want access to the DOM API. This means that non-DOM applications will load faster - which for small CGI scripts that handle XML can be a real issue. Once I have all the existing tests running 100% correctly again, I will continue expanding the test cases to cover more of the Xerces API.
