Re: Speeding up RecDesent parser for Perl Code

You know what you are trying to do has been done already, right?

Normally I'd be suggesting PPI here normally.

Except that PPI isn't that fast either, so I'm unsure if it would be a significant advantage in that respect (if speed is of primary importance).

HOWEVER, using PPI would certainly be more accurate.

I have looked at the PPI modul allready, but I think I have to parse the result of PPI to get the thinks that I want. So I need double parsing and it would be slower than one RD run. Also PPI seems a bit to accurate for me. Andre	[reply]

PPI spits out an object tree, so it's not a case of parse, rather `my @packages = PPI::Document->new('filename.pm') ->find('PPI::Statement::Package');` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
