Yes, Perl has great XML modules, and many more promising ones. But where

True. As for praise, XML::Parser does the job for me. In this specific
case, I'll be looking for something like statusfailure/status in the
response to an XML request I send. I'd like to pull out just the section
that failed and be able to create another request from that XML chunk.
It's a little
Now, now...that is unfair. I was referring to writing in pure Perl vs pure
Java.
Of course, C apis and pre-written daemon integration makes the glue
language a moot point (and favors Perl actually).
Well, mine is pure perl. it can speak the protocol to integrate with a
pre-written C irc

Admittedly it's not completely fair :-). I admitted that I would do (have
done) it in c. Given a choice between C and perl that is. But as you say in
the next paragraph, Perl is

I did, just a few months ago, and it's working very nicely.
The thing about a real-time chat engine is the same

Shane, you are a maniac! You wrote a chat server using sigqueues and

hi,
this could be a can of worms but anyhow here goes. Has anyone timed the
actual efficiency of Perl vs Java? Reason being is i wrote a state engine as
a perl module that seemed quite fast ~ 0.33 to 0.54 of a second for slurping
up values. With recall being about .25 to .35 of a second

hi Gerd,
that was very much what i was looking for! hmm.. seems that perl is
definately one of the most mem efficient langs whereas java is not. cool and
definately great reading although "talk about detail!" this is good! Java has
become acceptable for a compiled language. now here
They pretty much all support Perl. Very few if any would ever support
mod_perl at US$10/month.
There is a list of ISPs in the guide (or on the web site?) that support
mod_perl, but you have to expect to pay more than US$10/month for those
services.
