What happens if you run Perl on a Soekris box?

Well, just to give you some numbers and a quick idea how it will look like:

rhaen@arkanum.pkgbox.org:Soekris $ time -p perl -MDBI -e 'print "$DBI::VERSION\n"' 
1.601
real     1.56
user     1.38
sys      0.19
That's just 1.5 seconds for loading a Perl module to detect it's version. I thought the Soekris 4801 might be able to run a small blog with MovableType - but without a chance. It's perfect to run a small webserver which only serves static html pages but it's horrible slow if you decide to run dynamic cgis. However I haven't tested it with PHP but the results might be similar. In the next days I will work on a small workshop how to setup a blog on a Soekris running blogtools and such. Stay tuned :)
Oh, and all you need is NetBSD, that's nice, eh?
