Hi,
Inspired by RJBS' suggestion to profile the core's installman script
(https://rt.perl.org/rt3/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=116485), I've come
up with a few speed improvements to Pod::Man. They're available in a
branch in my Github clone of the podlators repo:
git://github.com/ilmari/podlators.git speedup-pod-man
https://github.com/ilmari/podlators/commits/speedup-pod-man
They're all pretty trivial and uncontroversial, except the inlining of
->formatting(), which you can leave out if that's meant to be
overridable by subclasses.
All together, these changes reduce the time spent in Pod::Man during an
installman run by about 10% NYTProf.
