I agree with Anonymous Monk.

Feel free to post your proposed regular expression. The other Perl Monks can give you tips on speeding it up.

There is a wealth of information on the Internet, in books, in videos from Perl conventions, in threads at the Perl Monks website, etc., regarding regular expressions and how to make them faster and more powerful.

But, if your only recourse is to resort to coding in XS, the other Perl Monks may advise you of that, too, after viewing your specific application.

I used to work for a guy and I would ask him "How do you do this?" Often, he would respond: "What are you trying to do?"

Re^3: Perl XS may be of interest to you.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.


Your skill will accomplish what the force of many cannot
