[root /]# cat /proc/cpuinfo
vendor_id : IBM/S390
[root@l007098 /]# perl --version
This is perl, version 5.005_03 built for s390-linux
I bet perl becomes bigtime on mainframes
Perhaps, but while Perl is convenient and I use it incessantly for many
projects for which it does a good job, I suffer no illusions as to how
comparatively poor its performance is (and this is relevant when the server
is a 25MHz 68030).
