We would prefer JSON::XS or some other faster serializer, but at the moment, we're limited by Perl 5.6.2, which is not JSON::XS compatible. This Perl is the newest we can reliably make binaries against at the moment. We plan to remedy this in 2013. Shipping a set of Perl 5.14.3 RPMs as part of cPanel was the first part of this plan. I tried to backport JSON::XS to v5.6 but was not quite successful because of overload issues with the old 5.6 compiler. https://github.com/rurban/Cpanel-JSON-XS Our current serializer candidates are Sereal and Data::MessagePack with some extensions. booking.com efforts really came handy. -- Reini Urban http://cpanel.net/ http://www.perl-compiler.org/Thread Previous | Thread Next
