I'm trying use perl on FreeBSD and am having huge performance issues. I took a script off a linux machine and ran it on my new FreeBSD machine and what took 9 seconds on linux is taking 56 seconds on FreeBSD. The machines run identical hardware and both run perl 5.6.1. I wrote a little test program to demonstrate the differences in speed of execution. Does anyone know how to make perl concat strings more efficiently? #!/usr/bin/perl $result =""; $begin = time; for ($i = 0; $i < 1000000;) { $i++; #comment the following line to get freebsd perl to run as fast as linux perl $result .= "$i\n"; } $duration = time - $begin; print "duration = $duration.\n"; Any ideas? -=Raistlin Alexander Majere To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
