It seems to me that either way you'll be iterating through thousands of entries. You might save a bit of overhead not going through an AV*, but I suggest trying it first. Before using a complicated solution, you might as well see whether the simple one is good enough. You're already in C, which is very fast. Otherwise you're going to be taking a Perl array, using join() to get a string, then basically splitting it up again from C into a C array. It strikes me that this solution might be _slower_, since you could avoid the join() and the split() by just converting the Perl array into a C array directly. Later, Neil
