I have been using Perl5.00503 up till this week. Now the project requires a move to Perl5.6.1. I am working on W2K well spec'd PC. I immediately noticed an extreme change in behavior between the two releases. To read in a large (140k +) text file and write to another file takes noticeably longer in 5.61 than before. To take the same text file and display in a Perl/Tk text widget practically brings the PC to a screeching halt.
Both these ops are simple and basic. Would someone please point me to the reason behind this drastic change in performance/behavior between the releases? I noticed that the CPU usage jumps up to and remains at 100% during the program run. Thanks, Lawrence. --------------------------------------------------------------- Lawrence Lordanich Tel: +1 858-651-1486 Qualcomm Inc.
