doing it in C would probably be faster, but you seem to be implying

there are not enough pure perl optimisations that can be done to get a

I don't know enough about Convert::ASN1 to say whether such
optimisations
exist or not, hence my original query about what could be done. At no
point did I suggest that Net::LDAP should stop being pure perl.
Originally Net::LDAP used the Convert::BER module. After many complaints
of slow performance, and it not supporting many ASN features,
Convert::ASN1
was written.
Are you pretty certain that pure-perl optimisations/changes cannot
get a
comparible speedup?
Certain.
If you are then fair enough - but perhaps the Net::LDAP FAQ should
make a
mention of the module's limitations.
Patches welcome :-)
I find that for 9 out of 10 cases, Net::LDAP performance
is good enough.
Ditto :)
Out of interest, do you use another module in the other 10% of
cases? Or
just take the performance hit?
