Hy, list folks.
Please somebody help me with this regexp issue, it's killing me.
I wrote a date-like grammar this way:

sub _parse_date( $ ) {
my $date = shift || return undef;

Could people who are now talking about unrelated issues (mod_perl and
contractors' standards) please retitle their posts accordingly. I
imagine that the staff at Streetmap may well still be taking an
interest in any posts relating specifically to their site, and to the
module, which these aren't.
Apart from the standard win32 limitations? Are you referring to mod_perl
on win32 or mod_perl in general? I wasn't aware of any major performance
issues related to large-scale use of mod_perl on (say) solaris...
