Yes, Ruby is slower than PERL. If you follow the attached link, you will see a benchmark result clearly saying so. Should you care? It depends. If program speed is the determining factor, as in going through millions of data lines, choose PERL (or better yet, a compiled language such as C or C++). In terms of programmer productivity, as in creating a working prototype/solving a small problem quickly, I think programming in Ruby is faster. YMMV.

What is the reason that script languages like ruby and PERL run slower than compiled languages?

The main reason is that in compiled languages, the compiler reads the code and turns it into object code before you run the program. Interpreted languages have to do this step while they are running. So the time to run a Perl program corresponds to the time it would take to compile, link, and run a C program, not to the time just to run it.

Perl is a programming language. Perl is an interpreted programming language. Perl is very useful for shell scripts, application programming, and web applications. Perl is quite easy to learn.
