I had never used Perl before. Until someone showed me Perl is very fast
for text processing (using its powerful regex), despite it's an
interpreted language. It even beat Delphi and FPC though both are
compiled language. A few lines Perl program almost two times faster than
a few pages pascal program.
Alright everyone. The answers are enough. Now I can say confidently that
pascal (fpc v.2.2) is FASTER than Perl, including in text processing. ;)
Thank you very much to everyone who involves in this thread. :)
I don't think that everybody that saw:

ever doubted that.
But people who have seen
http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/gp4/benchmark.php?test=regexdna&lang=all
may have doubted that.
I wonder where fpc would end up in that list,
A: if it uses its own regexpr parser (atm not good enough)
B: if it uses Jeff's header translations for pcre
