I don't deny it's good, but I have serious problems with such dependencies.

If it' so good make it core and I'll use it as soon as Debian supports the perlversion.

In the meantime I like a good style which works w/o XS dependencies.

    Long experience has taught me that distribution Perl, including Debian, exists to support the code in the distribution, not to support a Perl developer. I strongly recommend building your own Perl and not avoiding XS. Your choice, of course.

      nope, not my choice, corporate's choice.

        You are not assigned to a workplace, are you? You should reconsider working on Perl in a way that will stagnate your skills.
