NAME

Runops::Switch - Alternate runloop for the perl interpreter

SYNOPSIS

perl -MRunops::Switch foo.pl

DESCRIPTION

This module provides an alternate runops loop. It's based on a large switch statement, instead of function pointer calls like the regular perl one (in run.c in the perl source code.) I wrote it for benchmarking purposes.
