💖 PPI::XS 💖

okay bestie, welcome to PPI::XS — the manual page for the PPI::XS module, from the User Contributed Perl Documentation section, version 0.910. it's giving "small but mighty", and you're gonna love it. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

PPI::XS — (Minor) XS acceleration for PPI 💅

🌸 VERSION 🌸

version 0.910 — that's the one, no cap.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the tea: PPI::XS provides XS-based acceleration of the core PPI packages. it selectively replaces a (small but growing) number of methods all throughout PPI with identical versions written in C, except the C ones are much faster. iconic behavior honestly. 🔥

once you install it, PPI will auto-detect it and load it in completely transparently. like, you won't even notice it's there. main character energy: timestamps the entrance but says nothing. 🙈

because the C implementations are linked to the perl versions of the same function, it is preferable to upgrade PPI::XS any time you do a major upgrade of PPI itself. they're besties, they gotta move in sync. periodt. 👑

if the two fall out of sync, don't panic — the integration between them is designed to degrade gracefully. PPI::XS is capable of determining which functions are no longer equal, and will simply leave the perl version alone, deleting the C version to free up the memory. it just quietly steps back. no drama. 🧚

and if the versions of the two get so far apart that they become completely incompatible, PPI::XS will simply silently not load at all. yeah. it ghosts. 💀

beyond that? there isn't that much more you really need to know. :) 🫶
