# New Ticket Created by Nicholas Clark # Please include the string: [perl #107866] # in the subject line of all future correspondence about this issue. # <URL: https://rt.perl.org:443/rt3/Ticket/Display.html?id=107866 > ./installhtml is now unacceptably slow. Whilst the target install.html is marked as "experimental" on Unix*, it seems that installhtml is part of the regular install target in the Win32 makefiles, so will be common. On a fast Unix system, installhtml as of perl 5.14.0 was tolerable. (About as annoying as installman) On the same system, installman in smoke-me/installhtml (blead is broken) took 36 minutes. This may be due to the removal of a caching layer in pod2html. Whatever the cause, it really needs investigation and mitigation prior to perl 5.16.0 Nicholas Clark * and has been I think for a decade. Technical debt - yes, got that. Few things get finished. At some point it *is* going to be cheaper to "go bust" as a side effect of starting again.Thread Next
