Win98, Perl5.6.0 plus "ActiveState Build 615".

Do you have any theories about why the buffering in perl's internals isn't implented as efficiently as your Perl code, especially considering the overhead involved in executing perl opcodes?

It probably has to do with how ActiveState/WinPerl implements its IO layer vs. how traditional Perl on Unix implementes its IP layer. By the looks of things; it looks like your technique is faster under Windows/ActiveState while mine is faster under UNIX. Just another cross-platform gotcha to be aware of.	[reply]
