Right, I forgot about caching. So if I understand this all correctly,
standalone scripts using Petal with disk caching enabled should generate
the template script on first use. Subsequent uses, even if using your
optimizations and Parse::RecDescent, should not cause PRD to get loaded
unless the cached template expires. Right? Perhaps we should build a
test case to verify. But how would we know if PRD got loaded? Can we
check the @INC? The other option may be to do benchmarking I guess.

Thanks,
William
