I don't see any point in making DateTime run faster unless someone has complained about it being too slow. Most of the computers I administer don't have C compilers (the run Solaris). Requiring XS makes DateTime useless. I thought DateTime was a great idea, but now I hope the older Date and Time modules will be maintained so I can use them -- or I'll have to roll my own modules. This leaves me at the point I was before the DateTime project started. *groan* Peter -- #!/local/bin/perl5 -wp -*- mode: cperl; coding: iso-8859-1; -*- # matlab comment stripper (strips comments from Matlab m-files) s/^((?:(?:[])}\w.]'+|[^'%])+|'[^'\n]*(?:''[^'\n]*)*')*).*/$1/x;
