Forgive my possible perl/code ignorance here, but would something like
this
help with any performance degradation caused by my initial patch:
my $line = \$_[1];
while ($$line =~ '.$pat.'g) {
Or does it amount to more or less the same thing as my original patch?
I'm not completely clear in how perl handles references and didn't
really do anything more than a cursory test on it (which worked).
