Subject: takes too much disk space once installed
Class::MethodMaker takes too much disk space (about 22 MB) because of many almost-identical files and almost-identical code in some modules files, such as Class/MethodMaker/hash.pm (4 MB). This may be a problem in particular on embedded devices (and old machines), which have limited RAM and disk space. The code could probably be optimized, even though this is not easy. Martyn J. Pearce said on http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.perl.modules.class-methodmaker/14/focus=15 [...] It's not your fault, and it's difficult to fix. Essentially, it's templated code; the source is the template, hence the small size, and it's expanded on install. It is undesirable I grant, but it's too keep compilation time down, and it's difficult to do on demand because the client is typically running as different user to the installer.

I don't think anyone will ever solve that ticket. Please kindly allow me to close it to clean up my RT overview. If you think that's not correct, it's ok for me if you reopen. Thanks. Kind regards, Steffen -- Steffen Schwigon <ss5@renormalist.net> Dresden Perl Mongers <http://dresden-pm.org/>
