Howdy:
I am looking for a little input on an issue we are grappling with. We
are updating our site to be Unicode compliant. We have some
applications running under Perl 5.6.1 which has "sketchy" support for
Unicode. So there is a push to re-write these applications in .Net
(C#) because we are largely a Windows shop. Most of our Perl code is
regex heavy. .Net does have a fairly robust regex engine, but I have
never perfmance tested it against Perl. Has anyone done such testing
and what are your thoughts/results? Also, if we choose to stick with
Perl we would need to move to 5.8 for Unicode support. Would this just
be a simple recompile or would there be any other issues that would
need to be addressed?
Please let me know what you think.
Happy Holidays,
Tom
