They run at exactly the same speed. And the startup is usualy a little slower. Of course that depends on the disk speed and CPU speed. > and > also when compared with C executable on linux ? Depends. If your script spends most of its time in the heavily optimized Perl builtins than it will most probably be quicker than something you could write in a reasonable time. If on the other hand you spend most time in your code, then Perl is going to be slower. I don't think anyone can say anything more precise without more information. Anyway ... most of the time it's much more important when is the program ready, not whether it could run 10% quicker.
