Does perl not have a way to compile and cache regular expressions?
Sure - I tried that in this instance; it just turned out that running a regexp over one really big string, was faster than running a compiled regex: $ wc -l solver/unxlngi6.pro/bin/setup_osl.ins 103700 solver/unxlngi6.pro/bin/setup_osl.ins around that many times ;-) ATB, Michael. -- michael.me...@suse.com <><, Pseudo Engineer, itinerant idiot _______________________________________________ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice
