I've rewritten 0.10 of Parse::Nibbler to use subroutine calls instead of method calls.
everything else remained the same. I went from 1140 lines per second to ** 1420 ** lines per second, about 280 lines faster, or about 20 percent faster. So, I don't know why I didn't get the 2x to 4x improvement that I was hoping for. oh well, faster is still faster. don't know if it's worth the pain and suffering of losing method calls, but I'll probably want as much speed as I can possibly get.
