  • You know, when I saw that on the CPAN recent modules list I'd wondered if it had been prompted by the article. Good to know people are reading my stuff ;-)
    • Your assertions about XS in there were quite correct. ;-)

      The other thing I really admire about the ruby version is the block syntax. Of course, it's possible in Perl, just ugly. And no, I refuse to use a source filter.

      • Another thing that wasn't mentioned in the article, but which is present in the latest version is a builder mode, so you can do stuff like this:

        require 'genx/builder'

        w = GenX::Writer.new(STDOUT)

        w.builder do |b|
          b.foo do
            b.bar('blah')
            b.bar('zot')

        • Looking closer at that, I implemented something similiar [cpan.org] before... That was interesting; I wanted to see how closures and SAX would go together.
