in reply to memory penalty for loading XS modules?

Go ahead and release your module to CPAN with an underscore in the version number, so that it is marked as a development release not suitable for indexing. Then people can scratch their heads over it to figure out what's wrong ;-).

$h=$ENV{HOME};my@q=split/\n\n/,`cat $h/.quotes`;$s="$h/." ."signature";$t=`cat $s`;print$t,"\n",$q[rand($#q)],"\n";

    Why not throw some more broken code on CPAN and hope someone else will fix it.

      Yes, you see CPAN is the Comprehensive Perl Archive Network. Not the Constrained Perl Archive Network. If you can't understand or deal with it and are forced to make snide comments about the state of something that is working as designed, then that is unfortunately your problem.

      $h=$ENV{HOME};my@q=split/\n\n/,`cat $h/.quotes`;$s="$h/." ."signature";$t=`cat $s`;print$t,"\n",$q[rand($#q)],"\n";
