I've now published some patches in "git" that port the performance improvements of HTTP::Headers::Fast back to HTTP::Headers:
http://github.com/markstos/libwww-perl/commits/http-headers-fast The changes benchmark to be 10 to 20% faster on average and pass all of the HTTP::Headers regression tests. As I just mentioned in a previous post, it also adds a new method to generate the headers in an unsorted order, for better performance. The behavior of "as_string()" is not changed.
