I guess it depends on the hardware:

% time koleksi.pl   # perl
Word count: 126944
Unique word count: 11793

real    0m1.019s
user    0m0.992s
sys     0m0.028s


% time koleksi   # fpc
Word count:126944
Unique word count:11793

real    0m0.817s
user    0m0.784s
sys     0m0.020s


AMD-K6-700 / SuSE-10.3 / Linux-2.6.22  / perl-5.8.8 / fpc-2.2.0
