"Just to quickly point out something. The loop is not my purpose either. The original purpose to have the loop there is to make the testing result comparable."

I'm probably pissing into the wind in this thread but the point about the loop test is that it's not representitive of Perl on the whole and there is always an example that will match a point of view.

But even if it was representitive of overall execution speed, execution speed is generally only a small factor in application development. For most software 1 second versus 2 seconds is easily offset by ease of use, development time and many other factors.

As far as the emotion of some of the posts, well this is a site devoted to Perl. If someone went to Javajunkies and gave a C > Perl > Java argument, I bet you would get the same reaction. You don't go to someones's house and attack them and argue about how much better your X is than their X and expect a balanced, level-headed argument. Might as well go to a catholic church and debate abortion. It's just not the appropriate place.
