We have a wrapper language for C someone wrote which basicaly
reads files and operates on the fields. It formats the fields, adding
commas, removing spaces,checking for valid values and many similar
types of operations.
I am wondering if perl would run nearly as fast as such a thing, and
suspect it would. If the kind of processing you are doing could be done
in a 100 lines or so of perl code and the overall issue is how fast the
I/O is and moving one field to another, some pattern matching,
inserting data, I would expect perl would be fairly fast. Any comments
on that ?
