On my computer (Linux 2.6.18, 2.6 GHz Pentium 4)..
0.273s for Perl
The Python-Version was....0.622s.
Tcl...0.937s

To me, the question is how often does the program need to read the 8.2MB
file. If every second then the time difference matters. If once a minute
then the few hundred milli-second difference becomes less important. If
only a few times then the time difference is essentially irrelevant. The
question becomes, which language is easier to use, and produces a program
that is easier to read, easier to maintain, easier to enhance, and more
reliable, over the life of the program.
