I have attached perl program. Ruby and Perl are two totally different programing environments and are really not to be compared with regards to their run time performance. With Ruby the performance issue is shifted to the entire project life cycle, and indeed to the complexity of the project. Mere execution time of an application represents only a tiny fraction of what is truly measured when comparing procedural language like Perl and object oriented Ruby. If you compare the two languages in this respect Perl doesn't come even close to where Ruby stands. In fact I believe if you look at performance issues from this angle, Ruby stands out very proudly as the best performing programming language of all times. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
