The idea is this: lib.pm has to load the entire %Config and only uses 3 small variables from it. As far as I can tell L still gets use()d in L even if perl was compiled with PERL_BUILD_EXPAND_CONFIG_VARS Also the assumption is that if you are using this to shave off a bit of memory (appx 200K +/- over 'use lib') then you are probably not interested in the arch/version/inc_version_list alternate paths anyway. That being the case it doesn't bother with them since it'd require L and also more memory for L. For the same reason we don't have a @lib::tiny::ORIG_INC copy If you are interested in those things just use L instead. =head1 METHODS =head2 import() Is used when you: use lib::tiny @list; =head2 unimport() Is used when you: no lib::tiny @list; =head1 CONFIGURATION AND ENVIRONMENT lib::tiny requires no configuration files or environment variables. =head1 DEPENDENCIES None. =head1 INCOMPATIBILITIES None reported. =head1 BUGS AND LIMITATIONS No bugs have been reported. Please report any bugs or feature requests to C, or through the web interface at L. =head1 A NOTE ABOUT TINY MEMORY Here are some quick tests to showing how it uses over 50% less memory than use lib; (at least at this moment on this machine, your mileage may vary obviously) multivac:~ dmuey$ perl -le 'print `ps u -p $$`;' USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TT STAT STARTED TIME COMMAND dmuey 12815 0.0 0.1 601232 1172 s001 S+ 5:07PM 0:00.01 perl -le print `ps u -p $$`; multivac:~ dmuey$ perl -le 'use lib "/tmp";print `ps u -p $$`;' USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TT STAT STARTED TIME COMMAND dmuey 12817 2.7 0.1 601232 1544 s001 S+ 5:08PM 0:00.01 perl -le use lib "/tmp";print `ps u -p $$`; multivac:~ dmuey$ perl -le 'use lib::tiny "/tmp";print `ps u -p $$`;' USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TT STAT STARTED TIME COMMAND dmuey 12819 0.0 0.1 601232 1360 s001 S+ 5:08PM 0:00.01 perl -le use lib::tiny "/tmp";print `ps u -p $$`; multivac:~ dmuey$ perl -le 'print 1544 - 1172;' 372 multivac:~ dmuey$ perl -le 'print 1360 - 1172;' 188 multivac:~ dmuey$ perl -le 'print ((188/372)*100);' 50.5376344086022 multivac:~ dmuey$ =head1 TODO If there is great demand we may: =over 4 =item Do the archtype/version/inc_version_list dir structure without needing Config or File::Spec? or at least a mechanism to pass the data and have it done? =back =head1 THANKS To Adam Kennedy for the helpful feedback to make this module actually fit in the '::Tiny' spec. =head1 AUTHOR Daniel Muey C<< >> =head1 LICENCE AND COPYRIGHT Copyright (c) 2008, Daniel Muey C<< >>.
