That asside, jaa might want to consider generating the code from some other source. If efficiency is of paramount importance, then you could generate some realy ugly but fast procedural code using a clean OO aproach. The only problem is that this would involve extra effort, but it would solve both the maintainability and the speed problem. The generated code would only have to be regenerated if you wanted to change it. For all I know, there may be modules on CPAN already for generating perl code. Asside from that, there's always XML...
