Re: ANNOUNCE: XS-based minifiers for JS/CSS

[Andrew Wyllie <suppressed>]

I agree, this looks like it would be best suited to a standalone script.

If you really want this to be a mod_perl module, why don't you do something like check the timestamp of the JS/CSS file and cache (Cache::FileCache) the minified version of the file until the timestamp on the original file changes at which time you would reprocess the file.  This way, you only have to process the file once and performance becomes a non issue - although being able to process the file once with XS may be advantageous to some if they have a very large JS/CSS files.

Why do this dynamically at all?  (versus just doing it once on  
deployment / restart / whatever).
