[code-review] list scope

So what's the official scope of the list? Consider this a pre-spam question
to prevent the real spam. :)

I have a Perl object module for a file structure we use at work, written in
Inline::C for performance, but it's pretty big, and technically contains
proprietary file structure information. Is it appropriate for this list to
supply a detailed-but-altered dummy version to get some algorithm
fine-tuning feedback?

In general, I love all the advantages of objects, and I adore Perl, and I
think Perl's object model is pretty sweet, but haven't been able to produce
a parsing object in pure Perl that doesn't take four hours or more to run
through a file, while the C version can do it in a half hour. For any more
detailed (and thus realistic) benchmark, the ratio comes out at more like 8
or even 10 to one. I'd rather do it all in Perl to reduce complexity, but
may not be able to for performance reasons.

Even in C I still need to streamline it, because we are rather more often
than not asked to do surveys across files representing data from multiple
states and/or months, which means that even at the realistic time
expenditure of an hour per file in hard C code, it sometimes takes days to
run AFTER all the preliminary testing....and then we find something iffy
that needs tweaking, and then have to re-run it. Such projects are always
sudden, and ad-hoc, and expect data back yesterday.

Until we get our database up (expect months or years) we're stuck with this
method, and our group exists for quick turnaround of data that the IT
department's paperwork division makes impossible.

So is it cool to post entire modules and the scripts that use them, possibly
in multiple incarnations?
