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). _ Stas Bekman JAm_pH -- Just Another mod_perl Hacker http://stason.org/ mod_perl Guide http://perl.apache.org/guide mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://apachetoday.com http://logilune.com/ http://singlesheaven.com http://perl.apache.org http://perlmonth.com/

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 :-) -- /||** Founder and CTO ** ** http://axkit.com/ ** //||** AxKit.com Ltd ** ** XML Application Serving ** // ||** http://axkit.org ** ** XSLT, XPathScript, XSP ** // \\| // ** mod_perl news and resources: http://take23.org ** \\// //\\ // \\

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 ? ___ Robin Berjon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- CTO k n o w s c a p e : // venture knowledge agency www.knowscape.com --- Heisenberg may have been here.
