That said, wrapping one particular library-based implementation of a priority queue to work on standard Perl SVs would be very interesting, and quite possibly useful, too.
That would be the idea -- something along the lines of a
priority_queue<SV*,vector<SV*>,comparison_func>
. Making it "nice" would require it being possible to pass a block of Perl code in as the comparison function (a la sort), which completely blows the inlining. Standard comparisons (e.g. string and numeric greater- and less-than) could still be specified as constants passed to the constructor, and implemented in pure C for speed. It would be interesting to see how much faster this would be than the Perl-only versions.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
