Being able to do this kind of stuff requires having a nonoptimized version of the code available. I wonder if it makes sense to provide potentially many variants of the compiled code: source, nonopt bytes, opt bytes, and WIA platform? (Alternatively, this might be a hellish nightmare, but I suspect that it would be nice to have "run fast" versions of XML::whatever, and then "single-step" versions.) =Austin You must Sign in before you can post messages.
