the pre-compilation of the grammar helps quite a bit: the
startup time is much shorter, though still long, and i can
now see the processing time per instruction. with my grammar
separated for precompilation, i decided to try perlcc again
on my little bit of user interface and the inclusion of the
precompiled grammar module - the result was the same sort of "it
failed to compile, but that is not possible!" error message.
does anybody know of a documented case where Parse::RecDescent
has actually been compiled with perlcc, or am i chasing a
willo' the wisp? thanks in advance.
