I suggest you let your friend read Ten Perl Myths, especially "Perl is too slow". About the other languages: C and C++ programs execute faster, Basic programs are a lot slower. Java's speed depends on a lot of things, and I know nothing about COBOL and Pascal. For a lot of things, it's better to have speedy development instead of speedy execution. Think about how you would write this in C(++): The C(++) equivalent may execute a lot faster, but how long does programming it take? I guess it'll take longer than the one minute I spent on it.
