What I do, is look at the other apps/funcs for guidance. Pick the smallest
first,
and you can copy their style and layout. The module spec has evolved from
1.4
to 1.6 to 1.8, but it's the same basics (to a degree).

If it increases performance, and you need that, then heck yes! The only
drawback is that
it *is* in the source; you'll have to tweak it as you move up the versions.
You have to compile
and install it. Perl would remain static (I would imagine) even when you
update asterisk.
