in reply to Packages to make perl code go faster?
Now, have you actually identified the sections of your code that are causing any slowdowns? Over 90% of all time taken in the average application is spent in less than 10% of the code. You might want to look at various profiles, like Devel::DProf and Devel::SmallProf.
Another important item is you say I need my code to go as fast as possible. What does this mean? The human brain can only notice things that take longer than a hundredth of a second (or so). What does it gain you if you speed your code up by 50%, but only shave a thousandth of a second off the runtime?
When I code web applications, I try and keep each page under 5 seconds from request to render. That's the time that most people feel a webpage should render in. Client/server applications generally need to respond in under 1-2 seconds. Cellphone applications that go to the network can take up to 30 seconds and still be reasonable. In other words - how fast does fast really need to be?
Being right, does not endow the right to be rude; politeness costs nothing.
Being unknowing, is not the same as being stupid.
Expressing a contrary opinion, whether to the individual or the group, is more often a sign of deeper thought than of cantankerous belligerence.
Do not mistake your goals as the only goals; your opinion as the only opinion; your confidence as correctness. Saying you know better is not the same as explaining you know better.
