Thanks for sharing your learnings Kem.
I did learn that my ElfData plugin, while simple to use, has a lot of
overhead when trying to maintain it's efficiency with streams. If you
use it the simple way, it will be slow, unfortunately. But I'll make
a new upgrade that will be fast and simple for stream use.
ElfData is still simple when not dealing with streams.
I generally process entire files in one go, you see ;) That's why
I've never had a problem with this kind of thing before.
Also, totally agreed on the right tool for the right job. Perl is
great for what it does.
I wouldn't write a large complex system with it, though. I'd probably
use cocoa or C++ for that. And definitely no GUI stuff even for
simple apps. I'd use REALbasic for that ;)
