6 PPI::XS - (Minor) XS acceleration for PPI
7
9 version 0.910
10
12 PPI::XS provides XS-based acceleration of the core PPI packages. It
13 selectively replaces a (small but growing) number of methods throughout
14 PPI with identical but much faster C versions.
15
16 Once installed, it will be auto-detected and loaded in by PPI
17 completely transparently.
18
19 Because the C implementations are linked to the perl versions of the
20 same function, it is preferable to upgrade PPI::XS any time you do a
21 major upgrade of PPI itself.
22
23 If the two fall out of sync, the integration between the two is
24 designed to degrade gracefully. PPI::XS is capable of determining which
25 functions are no longer equal, and will simple leave the perl version
26 alone, deleting the C version to free up the memory.
27
28 If the versions of the two get so far apart that they become completely
29 incompatible, PPI::XS will simply silently not load at all.
30
31 Beyond that, there isn't that much more you really need to know. :)
