I know this isn't legal perlapi, but I want to run a regex from XS.

This code may be a bottleneck and I'd like to see how much of one it is.

    # accumulate token start_offsets and end_offsets
    my ( @starts, @ends );
    1 while ( 
        m/$separator_re/g 
        and push @starts, pos 
        and m/$token_re/g 
        and push @ends, pos 
    );

I know that doesn't look like it'll gain much from going to XS, but this app has to deal with gobs and gobs of tokens.

What's the hack?

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
