Perl is not slow, you're talking nonsense. Loads of very big sites are
run on Perl. Slashdot is a prime example. Ever heard of the Slashdot
effect? It's what happens when Slashdot links to another site and the
*other* site goes to it's knees.
Yes, for raw operations C is faster and assembly language is even
faster, but in real world speed is limited by disk access times and
database transactions. Perl is no slower in accessing databases than
assembly language.
