This makes me curious about something else... is it possible for different XS modules to become aware of their existence and then use, say, the exchange of a function pointer or vtable to establish cross-communication, sans perl overhead? This could allow for some remarkable optimizations across the board, I think, with the advantage that it would be easy to fall back on Pure Perl wherever necessary. > --d Cheers, Chase
