Right, I've been debating whether it's worth making INSTALL larger for performance-only things, especially since it mainly affects lei users. Inline::C covers more functionality (at the expense of slow startup time); I'm working on supporting this via pure-Perl for Linux users (the vast majority), here, too. Having too much in the INSTALL can be too intimidating, so I'm trying to balance that out. It's already in lei-overview(7); and IIRC it only affects lei, atm. > The Debian package is called libsocket-msghdr-perl, don't know about the > others. Yup, AFAIK Debian + derivatives are the only distros with it. > Just a quick note to let you know ... Thanks. I do worry about the quantity of documentation + dependencies being too intimidating to new users, especially for dependencies with a narrow scope of usefulness and availability. *shrug* -- unsubscribe: one-click, see List-Unsubscribe header archive: https://public-inbox.org/meta/
