 Right, but it would be nice to point to an alternative. The module is
 called Text::Reform, by the way.

True. Thanks.

Does it have any problems with working under mod_perl? looks like a pure
perl to me.

I doubt it has problems because it's not magical (well, it's only magical
in the Damian Conway sense, not in the Larry Wall sense :-)

But I haven't tried it either, so don't take my word for it :-)

Damian claims to only ever write code in pure Perl.

 Damian claims to only ever write code in pure Perl.

I was told by quite a few people that this is because
of Damian academic background. With all the respect to Damian, it seems
that the functionality has a higher preference than performance at his
code. I've to admit though that the functionality is great :)

One of the people I had a bad luck to be in touch with, wrote an app using
Parse::RecDescent as a grammar parser. It was taking *only* a few minutes
to parse a big file. Which was quite innacceptible for the web app. I'm
imagine that if some of memory mangling parts of Parse::RecDescent were
rewritten in XS/C, it'll run much faster. But that might be not true.

Anyway, I don't see any reason why won't it work under mod_perl. It
doesn't have BEGIN/END blocks (e.g. FindBin doesn't work under mod_perl
for because it relies on BEGIN block to be recompiled on each request),
not tie, no globals (other than the standard ones).

 Is this still true under 5.6.x?

if I rely on the perltie man page, these two aren't implemented in 5.6.x.

Note that Damian Conway has released a replacement for format as a
module. I forget what it's called now, but it's in his directory on CPAN
(not Text::Autoformat, btw).

I _think_ that it is still true. At least, perltie and TieL::Handle seem to
say so. I don't know if anyone's working on that, isn't PerlIO going to
replace tied handles ?
