I will look closer at Jochen code this week end. The Inline::Yacc I planned was less ambitious but It might be faster to implement. Any how I believe Jochen idea is the right one. Another idea was an Inline::Byacc and it might be a fun idea.
Please keep giving us support in way of questions or suggestions. I think I work harder if someone wants my job. I also started a discussion about compile time and I got mixed answers ranging from 'look at that documentation', 'wait for next release' to the silly 'you are using windows'. Nevertheless it was instructive and I did read more documentation. I did send a profiling dump and I guess it proves that most of the time is spend in Parse::Recdescent. What I would like to see in the future is Inline::C using Inline::Yacc (or equivalent) to speed up things. But Inline::Yacc should use Inline::C this is an egg-chicken paradox. Anyone has an idea of how to make it work (bootstrap). The most intressting point would be to have a listing of ideas that could be implemented with Inline::Yacc. Look at this like a 'requirement period' for Inline::Yacc. All ideas (even crazy ones) are welcome. Inline::Flex is in alpha and I am waiting for some feedback.

Hello, Aaron, >I thought I heard someone say something about working on an Inline::yacc, >but I missed the url reference ... ? we talked about such a module indeed, Nadim had plans for it, and I independently worked on it (talking with Brian and Neil, who had already thought of such a module). I have a first preliminary version of an Inline::Yacc. Unfortunately, it fails bootstrapping the generated code, and a lot of interfaces have still to be defined, so there's not even an alpha release yet. That's why there was no URL. Nevertheless if you are (or anyone else is) interested or even want to work with us to make this module come alive, I could send you the code I wrote. Jochen
