in reply to serious regex performance degradation after upgrade to perl 5.8 from 5.6
According to your -V output on your 5.8 perl, you're running a threaded version. That slows everything down, even in programs that don't use threads. Your only options are to recompile perl without threads, get a precompiled version from your vendor without threads, or live with it.

I wanted to explore how Perl's closures can be manipulated, and ended up creating an object system by accident.
