Port of Perl's Parse::AFP?

Scott

Has anyone had the need to port the Perl library Parse::AFP to Ruby?
I'm trying to use the Perl version right now and I'm having some nasty
memory usage issues (iterating through a 21MB AFP file consumes over
1GB of RAM). Since I dont know Perl very well, a Ruby version would
really help me out if it didnt have the same issues.

Thanks,
Scott
