in thread Minimizing PAR performance hit

I use Net::SSH::Perl, which relies on Crypt::DSA, which in turn uses Math::Pari. This last isn't strictly required... so long as you don't mind 30-second-long login times to SSH servers. :-(

Regardless, the RAM overhead of PAR seems to be about 8-9MB...

    Well, so long as you must use Net::SSH::Perl, yes, you're bound to PARI. I'll note though that from what hints you've provided about your execution environment, you aren't in a situation where you'd really be taking advantage of Net::SSH::Perl's main advantage, which is that you don't have to create an extra process in order to ssh - this is a boon in a long-running perl process that will ssh frequently, or on a system with a high per-process overhead (such as windows). You don't seem to be in such a situation.

    Could you also accomplish what you need to accomplish by using the ssh command-line client already there on the machine you're going to be running on and using Net::SSH, IPC::Open3, or possibly even Expect?

    (Note that Expect comes with its own shared-library baggage, but likely less than Pari's)

      I'd very much like to avoid Expect, and I'd prefer to avoid Net::SSH if only because my code is already tested and written with something else. If the performance problems prove too severe then yes, I can and will fall back on that. (I say this often: Aren't I glad I have a test suite!)

      But it'd be pretty sad if the tool I was relying on to ease deployment is limiting my choice of modules, so I'm not giving up yet.

      (To clarify: without PAR the performance is acceptable.)
