I think Tim Bunce is on vacation right now, but earlier this month he wrote:

Jack posted a SelfStubber diff and a new SelfLoader supporting prototypes
on 11/13.
Some of the CGI::* modules are waiting for SelfLoader to go into the main
perl distribution before supporting it. Since CGI scripts get compiled as
often as thousands of times a day, SelfLoader is a huge improvement for CGI
modules.

>Patches anyone?
I've put a tarfile at
<URL:
ftp://ftp.best.com/pub/hedlund/selfloader.tar.gz> which contains:
perl5.002beta1/lib/Devel/SelfStubber.pm
perl5.002beta1/lib/SelfLoader.pm
These version are 1.01 and 1.06, respectively, which are from Jack's
prototypes patches, except that I turned off debugging in SelfLoader (which
was on in the posted version).
Thanks, Andy.
