Re: APRS Parser

["Jeff Laughlin" <jeff.laughlin@gmail.com>]

I started on an APRS parser written in perl. It handles most of the
major bits of the standard and I used it to dump APRS data into
postgresql and it kept up with the global APRS internet feeds no
problem, in fact I was suprised at how fast it was. It turned out that
PostgreSQL consumed vastly more system resources than the parser and
that was mostly disk IO, CPU load was relatively light. It could
certainly still use some work but it's functional and well documented
and I included example code. You can get it from
http://sourceforge.net/projects/ham-aprs-parser/
