in reply to Parse::RecDescent size limit?

P::RD uses a nibbling approach to the text string, and is therefore usually unsuitable for large input streams. theDamian's rumored "Parse::FastDecent" will use m/\G//gc inchworming instead, and be much faster, and probably won't segfault for you. But it's only partially coded, and not yet available, if I recall.

    So, I cannot use P:RD for this? Or I should try to use the partial version of P:FD?
