abachus has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hello there,

What is the most efficient way to append data to a scalar ? I don't think the following is, or is it ? :

$data = $data . $more;
For what its worth, I plan to implement some code that will be handling rather large amounts of data, but the data is likely to arrive in aprox 8kb chunks from a filehandle with a sysread call.

thanks y'all,

Isaac.
