One more thing: Perl programs are compiled and turned into bytecode as they are invoked. At this point, perl's bytecode engine actually runs it. If you have a HUGE perl program that does one small quick task (Out of many potential tasks), the runtime for the program will be dwarfed by the compile time.However, under normal circumstances, compilation is a small percentage of the runtime.
