Hi, Is it feasible to build a Moose object with an Inline C method?
We have here some Inline C based parsers for network packets (mostly analogue to Net::Packet). They build a hash with the parsed values - so using standard Perl OO I would just bless that hash and be done, but I guess in Moose that would not be that simple. For some background - the throughput of our communication streams (SMS) require that it is done in that low level (this was a decision done before I came here but I have done some rudimentary tests and, to my surprise, the Inline C based vesions are indeed many times faster than the Net::Packet versions that use pack/unpack). Now my task is to write some OO wrappers to our libraries. Of course I don't know if the OO overhead will not spoil the advantage that we get from parsing in C - I'll have to verify that, I think this will depend much on the usage. -- Zbigniew Lukasiak http://brudnopis.blogspot.com/ http://perlalchemy.blogspot.com/
