Brian, Perhaps this is an obvious note that you caught, but you mentioned turning on debugging. You didn't do this for the *actual* test, did you? I understand that would have a performace effect. (you probably didn't, but I just thought I would mention it) Another question -- what exactly did you have each of the scripts doing? I examined a few of those packages you benchmarked recently, and it seems they had very different strengths and weaknesses. They each developed to fill a slightly different niche. I imagine such a rigorous performance test would be biased on what exactly you asked them to do for it. Perhaps I am mistaken, and if so -- please enlighten me! ;-) One thing I found slightly disturbing, was the high ranking of PHP numbers to the perl solutions. I imagined that PHP might win, as it is a web based option *designed* to be a web scripting language from the ground up -- but I did not expect such a large difference in numbers. I also want to thank you Brian, such a test was very interesting and thought provoking. Cameron PS -- Richter: *I* still think Embperl is the best. ;-) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
