Subject: [lucy-user] Perl modules used on different machines (very slow search
 on one, but
 not other)

Hi,

I've noticed a difference (and a massive difference in performance) in
what appears to be the Perl modules being used on two different
machines:

Actual search time (on the same small test index) is nice and
respectable on both machines: 0.05s:

But, total run time time is different and it seems to be related to
Perl modules:

machineA (slow)
~% dprofpp
Total Elapsed Time = 1.751774 Seconds
  User+System Time = 1.671774 Seconds
Exclusive Times
%Time ExclSec CumulS #Calls sec/call Csec/c  Name
 18.3   0.306  0.512   5162   0.0001 0.0001  Text::Balanced::_match_variable

 11.4   0.191  0.962     20   0.0095 0.0481  Switch::filter_blocks
 6.52   0.109  0.109  10596   0.0000 0.0000  Text::Balanced::_failmsg
 6.40   0.107  0.307   2408   0.0000 0.0001  Text::Balanced::_match_codeblock
 4.19   0.070  1.668     16   0.0044 0.1043  main::BEGIN
....

machineB (fast)
~% dprofpp
Total Elapsed Time = 0.369657 Seconds
  User+System Time = 0.299657 Seconds

 3.34   0.010  0.010      3   0.0033 0.0033  utf8::SWASHNEW
...

It looks like it's got something to do with Lucy deciding to use the
Perl module Text::* at configure time, but I may be wrong.

What should I look for to get an idea why this is happening?

More information:

perl Build test on fast machine:  all pass.
On slow machine, the following fails:
t/core/051-fs_file_handle.t .......... Failed 42/46 subtests
t/core/103-fs_folder.t ............... 1/108 Can't clean up directory _fstest
	S_tear_down at

t/core/103-fs_folder.t ............... Dubious, test returned 39

Failed 106/108 subtests


Lucy:  svn trunk (Revision: 1167124)
perl:  5.8.8
I had to install a few perl modules via CPAN to get the required
versions (I'm using CentOS):
Module::Build
Devel::PPPort
Scalar::Util (this was required instead of the builtin since the XS
version was required, etc)


Thanks
