Is something like B::Generate is what you are looking for? e.g. see: http://www.perl.com/pub/a/2002/05/07/optree.html Simon had an interesting paper in the last OSC's proceeding paper. I don't know if it's available online. It was called: B::Generate + Source Filters = use Python; In any case you probably want to move this discussion to some other perl specific list/forum, unless it has something to do with mod_perl. __________________________________________________________________ Stas Bekman JAm_pH ------> Just Another mod_perl Hacker http://stason.org/ mod_perl Guide ---> http://perl.apache.org mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://use.perl.org http://apacheweek.com http://modperlbook.org http://apache.org http://ticketmaster.com
