Re: any performance benchmark comparisions for text processing between Erlang & Perl

I hear it sucks. See http://www.erlang.org/pipermail/erlang-questions/2006-August/022596.html for a port driver version which might at least approach Perl's.

So how does its regexp's performance as compared to Perl's ?

Since Perl *was* designed to be a text processing language,
and Erlang *wasn't*, it's not clear that any benchmarks
that have been done tell us much except where the effort
needs to go to make it better.

For example, R12B-3 includes the prototype regular
expression implementation based on PCRE from
http://www.erlang.org/eeps/eep-0011.html

Or use the new re module introduced in R12B-3:
