[Cialug] Perl performance on RedHat

[Eric Junker]

I thought some of you may be interested in this. I ran across this blog 
post about poor Perl performance on RedHat, CentOS and possibly Fedora. 
It seems there is a bug with bless/overload. Once the author applied a 
patch he saw a 100x to 1000x speed increase. Even if your code doesn't 
use bless/overload, many CPAN modules do.
