Hello, all. Unicode::Collate 0.54 [1] supports a C-compiled DECUT [2],[3] via XSUB, that may save time when a new collator will be constructed.
If you want use the compiled DECUT, don't say (table => 'allkeys.txt') nor any other table in Unicode::Collate->new. Though Unicode::Collate can be build without XSUB, the DECUT won't be compiled by pure perl. [1] http://search.cpan.org/author/SADAHIRO/Unicode-Collate-0.54/ [2] only one DUCET can be compiled. [3] exactly speaking, only 716 lines are necessarily parsed by pure perl on load a collator, but not all of 22542 lines of DUCET for Unicode 5.2.0. Thank you, SADAHIRO Tomoyuki
