Yes, you need a faster computer! autarch@houseabsolute:~/projects/R2$ time perl -MDateTime -e1 real 0m0.109s user 0m0.096s sys 0m0.016s That's my desktop, which is a Core2 Duo of some sort. Note that once you do this once it gets much quicker because the OS keeps the data in memory until it gets paged out by something else. If you keep using it, it won't get paged out. The results above are _not_ from the first load. -dave /*============================================================ http://VegGuide.org http://blog.urth.org Your guide to all that's veg House Absolute(ly Pointless) ============================================================*/
