<br>
The following RHEL/CentOS bug haven't been closed until someone had the brains to submit the issue to slashdot:<br>
<a href="https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=379791">https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=379791</a><br>
<br>This was a bug introduced by RedHat themselves so not cross-platform, but as far as I remember it was introduced due to wrong patching of a problem in vanilla perl, so maybe other distro's/versions had similar problems.<br>
<br>
Your time output suggests problem at the user code level to me.<br>
<br>What about trying to profile the perl script?<br><br><a href="http://www.perl.com/pub/a/2004/06/25/profiling.html">http://www.perl.com/pub/a/2004/06/25/profiling.html</a><br><a href="http://search.cpan.org/~jaw/Devel-Profile-1.05/Profile.pm">http://search.cpan.org/~jaw/Devel-Profile-1.05/Profile.pm</a><br>
<br>And lots others from searching for "perl profile".<br><br>
