It's much more than that. Perl doesn't cache compiled scripts either, or
rather, its caching is extremely limited, and IMHO pretty much unusable
(e.g., you have to restart the server every time a script changes). PHP
alone is as fast as Perl (and slightly faster, as the benchmarks
show). PHP coupled with Zend Cache is probably several times quicker than
Perl for most Web purposes.
