Someone that likes perl showed this to me the other day. [http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/gp4/benchmark.php?test=all&lang=ruby&lang2=perl](http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/gp4/benchmark.php?test=all&lang=ruby&lang2=perl) This seems awfully suspicious to me…but I haven’t a real clue if these are reasonable benchmark tests.
