Re^3: How to make your Perl 30% faster

Also, higher optimization levels may start trading off time for space, which might make someone still running Perl on an old VAX angry.

Who is interested in an old VAX? ;-)

But now that you mention it:

-rwxr-xr-x    2 root root   11588 2004-11-17 09:49 /opt/perl-5.8.0_t/bin/perl
-rwxr-xr-x    2 root root 1213952 2004-11-17 09:49 /usr/local/bin/perl

Which looks really weird for me in the first case.

/opt/perl-5.8.0_t/bin/perl is probably compiled with a shared perl library, while /usr/local/bin/perl is compiled statically. Look for libperl.so.* somewhere in your library path. :-) "What should it profit a man, if he should win a flame war, yet lose his cool?"	[reply]
