I've heard that perl-DBI is slow. Is this true? If so, is it because of
Perl being an interpreted language?
Perl is compiled, always has been.
DBI is no slower than any other application that has to
talk to a database. This involves disk and/or network I/O,
transaction processing, and any latency involved in using
a time-shared system (just about all of them these days).
I have worked on large datasets with Perl using DBI for
years; in most cases my Perl runs no slower than C that
"real" programmers come up with and frequently runs faster.
