note 28074 added to faq.languages

If you read the rest of the manual you'll discover that PHP4 is runtime-compiled into bytecode, like Perl. And generally it's installed as a server extension, like mod_perl. So Perl has no advantage in this area. PHP's performance generally is better, even without taking advantage of accelerators such as the Zend Accelerator or APC, which cache the generated bytecode. -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/faq.languages.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+28074 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+28074 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+28074
