I personally think if you have working, secure scripts in Perl, and are
accustomed to maintaining them, then it is not worthwhile to port to C.
While it is faster, I think the time spent fussing with the porting, etc is
not worth it. If you really, really need more speed, I would suggest that
throwing more hardware at the problem is probably the better, cheaper way.
(Cheaper when you measure the cost of the time you'd spend otherwise...)

Ok, the local Linux guru has proclaimed that C would be faster than Perl.
I
know C is very effecient so I don't really doubt him, but my question
is....
would it make that much of a difference? I certainly wouldn't mind
learning
C, the only question is would be worth the time to port our Perl scripts
over to it? Right now our setup is Apache w/modperl, and I'm getting quite
good at taking advantage of modperl's benefits.
Hope everyone had a safe New Year,
