NAME

Mojolicious::Plugin::FastHelpers - Faster helpers for your Mojolicious application

SYNOPSIS

Lite app

  use Mojolicious::Lite;
  plugin "FastHelpers";
  app->start;

DESCRIPTION

Mojolicious::Plugin::FastHelpers is a Mojolicious plugin which can speed up your helpers, by avoiding AUTOLOAD.

It does this by injecting some new classes into the inheritance tree of Mojolicious and Mojolicious::Controller.

Warning

This module must be considered EXPERIMENTAL. There might even be some security isseus, so use it with care.

It is not currently used in production anywhere I know of, and I'm not sure if I can endorce such usage.

This is strictly a (unproven) proof of concept.

Benchmarks

There is a benchmark test bundled with this distribution, if you want to run it yourself, but here is a quick overview:
