Hi Brian,
these days I had to defend my decision to use Inline instead of XS for
my Filesys::AFS modules. Finally I came up with the idea described
below.
It is well known that the usage of Inline is ***THE PERFECT*** choice
for developing extension modules. But I don't think that the
"recompile" feature is always desired in a "production environment".
There are situations when it is not wanted that a "recompile" is
triggered automatically, e.g. no compiler on the production machine.
Therefore I would suggest a "configuration option" where I can
prohibit the recompilation of the "extension source code". And when
suppressing the "recompilation" there should be the possibility to die
the execution, to get a warning and then run, or to just ignore the
whole stuff and run with the old library.
What do you think about that idea ?
Cheers,
Norbert
