It takes about 3 seconds for the interpreter to load up, with or without -c from ... It just seems weird to me.. for example, I can parse an entire httpd.conf, extract vhost data and print it out to the browser in "0 seconds" (using a simple time() at the top, and a time() at the bottom... ), it just takes a while for it to start up ...
Example:
john@caffeine (/opt/www/tournament/cgi-bin) > perl -c menu.pl n=n
menu.pl syntax OK
john@caffeine (/opt/www/tournament/cgi-bin) >
This takes ~2 or 3 seconds, comparable to my P60, which seems a little off perhaps (?)
Maybe this is just normal... Although PHP4 scripts run in no time, so I'm not sure what's going on.
Thanks!
