I took some similar benchmarks recently: https://code.ivysaur.me/interpreter-binary-perf

Perl5 won the dec2bin benchmark.

The other thing I learned was that PHP's binary/decimal functions are two orders of magnitude slower, despite its core interpreter performance being best-in-class.

On the other hand PHP has a PCRE jit option which manages to beat even Perl's regex implementation.

Yes but you can use that jit also with perl5. https://metacpan.org/pod/re::engine::PCRE2

It has even less backcompat problems than the native regex.
