Has anyone looked into why perl 4 or perl5 runs **SLOW** on FreeBSD boxes? I have an accounting package that runs on FreeBSD, BSDI, and a Sun Sparc 20 box, and the difference in speed is horrible! Some stats are: System: Config: Web Server: Speed: Sun Sparc 20 ( 64 megs RAM ) Apache 1.0.3 3 seconds aprox. BSDI 2.1 (DX4-100 32 megs RAM ) Apache 1.0.3 9 seconds aprox. FreeBSD 2.1 (DX4-100 32 megs RAM ) Apache 1.0.3 Over 2 minutes aprox. The FreeBSD and BSDI box are identical in hardware configurations. Sorry if I am being vague in some of the configuration issues. If anyone can offer some way of benchmarking perl on these boxes to see why it takes forever, I'd can track down the problem. I am unable to do it myself as I do not know enough about perl and passing needed ENV variables to the scripts as they run from as cgi scripts via a suid root wrapper. -jeff
