optimized module loading

Back to search · Project homepage

Description

The "prefork" pragma is intended to allow module writers to optimise module loading for both scenarios with as little additional code as possible. The prefork.pm is intended to serve as a central and optional marshalling point for state detection (are we running in compile-time or run-time mode) and to act as a relatively light-weight module loader.
