in reply to New module -- Fixed width data solution

Two times now you have rated your own module 5 stars. It's been pointed out before that this is considered poor taste. The module may be useful, but Moose is an awful lot to load to parse fixed-width data.

    but Moose is an awful lot to load to parse fixed-width data.

    Load time for Moose has been going down lately, so that complaint is starting to become more FUD then Fact (a few lines of XS recently made Moose 45% less slow at startup). Also I would put it that when parsing large data files, your applications performance will be completely IO-bound and the extra couple hundred milliseconds that Moose requires at startup (assuming the class is made immutable) will not be an issue.

      I wasn't specifically talking about load time, but point taken. I went ahead and installed Moose to test this module, and although I'd like to try out Moose some more, I doubt I'll be using this module much, even though it's "The most significant module to ever grace cpan."
