I don't disagree but diagnosing this particular problem didn't require knowing any C, just the perl profiler and another perl build.

- ajross 18y agoOnly if by "diagnosing" you mean "lucking out and finding a pre-existing bugzilla entry on the problem". Someone earlier had to identify the problem and crawl through the RH patch sets looking for it. The author, who doesn't want to think beyond perl, was stuck without this. Not everyone is so lucky.
- kingkongrevenge 18y agoUh, no. Diving in to C was unnecessary to solve this problem any way you slice it. In fact, it would have been the most inefficient way to figure out that another perl build was needed.
