As far as I know, it's compiled in memory. The article about Perl on Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perl) talks of compile-time and code optimization, even if the same article speaks of Perl interpreter. I guess that in this case the difference between compiled and interpreted language is fuzzy. I agree perl is very fast, and it's amazing on its execution speed, compared to many programming languages. -- ~Alberto Paderno _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe or switch delivery mode: <http://www.realsoftware.com/support/listmanager/> Search the archives of this list here: <http://support.realsoftware.com/listarchives/lists.html>
