Like Warp suggested, maybe his Perl coding just sucks for some reason?

Heh. The Haskell bods are currently real excited because Haskell is 
ranked 3rd is the new parallel benchmark table. (But then, most of the 
other languages haven't submitted any parallel code yet.) It's lagging 
behind C++, but just faster than C.

Of course, as somebody pointed out, the C and C++ implementations are 
using OS threads, while Haskell is using lightweight Haskell threads, 
"so it's not a fair comparison". Debate that if you will...
