Re: Converting Perl to PHP?

Having recently done the exact reverse, the big change is to change all the curly brackets, { , to square brackets, [ . Then the DBI calls have to be changed. But as much as I like PHP, I have to wonder why you would convert from Perl to PHP. I went the other way because I felt that PHP was bogging down under load. When I ran the unix command top, I could see that serving up a fairly intensive page was pinning out the CPU for 2 to 3 seconds. So I converted to Perl, and then to Mod_Perl. Mod_Perl is over 20 times faster than PHP. I have put my benchmarks generated with the apache utility ab up at www.aldham.net/benchmarks/BenchMarks.php3 . All three benchmarks were run on the same web server, same binary, same database underneath (Postgres). -- Danny Aldham Providing Certified Internetworking Solutions to Business www.postino.com E-Mail, Web Servers, Web Databases, SQL PHP & Perl > > well, if you have some skills in Perl, why not write a script to help in the > conversion. i'd be willing to help... > > clayton > > "K" <kevsurf@MailAndNews.com> wrote in message > news:39626A10@MailAndNews.com... > > Hello, > > > > I have a set of script that are written in Perl and I would like to > convert > > them into PHP scripts.
