The problem is, there is no "in general". While Perl programs often
have a huge startup cost relative to C or C++ programs, sometimes the
code perl generates for a given construct is faster than a
poorly-written C version of the same construct (well-written C is
almost always going to be faster). Sometimes it will be worse. The
only way to know is for you to show us your code.

That's your choice. Hope it works out for you.
