performance - Why perl is faster than d language? -

simply program hello world program (bellow have code of d , of perl) faster in perl (interpreted language) in d (compiled lang). why?

//d language (ldc compiler)  import tango.io.stdout; void main() {     int i=0;     while (i<1000)     {      stdout("hola món").newline;      = i+1;     } } 

and

my $i = 0; while ($i<1000) {     print "hola món\n";     $i = $i+1; } 

and time is:

time perl hello.pm   real    0m0.047s user    0m0.004s sys 0m0.012s  time ./hola real    0m0.070s user    0m0.044s sys 0m0.012s 

why?

it seems code 99% syscalls (printf), , perl optimizes surrounding loop well. i'd try more complex doesn't rely heavily on single syscall.

also, makes sense perl optimized quick startup given partial focus on complementing/replacing unix toolbox (sed, awk). guess it's not surprising performs better other dynamic languages compact programs one.
