Re^2: Tokenizer / Lexical Analyzer for parsing Wiki

That is a rather good point. But i know that Text::WikiFormat is not very speed-oriented so i can do a lot speedier in Perl. My entire Wiki is in Perl too.

Currently looking at Parse::Lex.

If so, why not see if the author is interested in you attempting to do so? However, If you really feel Text::WikiFormat is a lost cause, then I would recommend writing your own lexer and tokenizer, that way you will be sure to squeeze all the speed out of it you need. -stvn	[reply]
