I think the difference between 5.8.x and 5.10.x is that in 5.10
the bottom layer of Perl's I/O layering is unixio rather than stdio,
i.e. read/write and friends rather than fread/fwrite and friends.
And here's your workaround, Jörg. Change your open statement from
open (OUTPUT, ">$test" ) || die "Fehler open";
to
open OUTPUT, '>unix:', $test or die "Fehler open";
That will get you the same behavior on 5.8.x that 5.10.x does by
default, i.e., it will use Unix I/O instead of standard I/O, see
$ perldoc perlio
for details. This will let you dodge the performance bug in our
fwrite() implementation and get you roughly the same speed when
writing zeros as when writing anything else.
