Perl is amazingly fast. I wrote a simple search engine for my site
(about
500 pages), and I'm simply shocked at how fast it can open all
those files,
much less do any searching!
I am not amazed perl is fast in this kind of operations: it was
born to
handle text; perl stays for "Practical Extractor and Report
Language", so I
guess that is its bread for its teeth. :-)
Oh, I always thought it meant, "Pretty Esoteric Rubbish Lister"... :)
Apart that, its parser, and compiler is really fast, so it can be
fast,
especially in regular expression pattern handling.
