Re^5: Text::CSV_XS - proposed new interface

My point was that many distros should be able to provide an XS and a pureperl version of the same code. A perfect example would be Text::xSV. You have the pureperl version which anyone can cut'n'paste. Then, you have the XS version. If you aren't able to install it (for whatever reason), then you get to cut'n'paste. If you can, you get the speed boost.

I still fail to see the problem ...

Being right, does not endow the right to be rude; politeness costs nothing.
Being unknowing, is not the same as being stupid.
Expressing a contrary opinion, whether to the individual or the group, is more often a sign of deeper thought than of cantankerous belligerence.
Do not mistake your goals as the only goals; your opinion as the only opinion; your confidence as correctness. Saying you know better is not the same as explaining you know better.
