Subject: perl ... again

Having just ftp'd back a version of perl that claimed to be for the 
386+ processor I was disappointed to find it only used high memory 
(MS C compiled).  And a quick test seemed to indicate it isn't much 
faster than the regular DOS version I had before.  As perl tends to 
be I/O intensive I was wondering if it were compiled using gcc if 
things would speed up?  I did replace my 8086 version of grep with 
the FSF/djgcc version and saw a BIG speed increase and grep is I/O 
intensive ... right?
     
So, has anyone compiled perl with djgpp?  If not, or you won't own up 
to it, I'll give it a try.
     
Thanks in advance for any info/help,
                             Rod Anderson
