in reply to Idiomatic optimizations

when printing, comma (,) is faster than concatenate (.). print $foo, ' -- ', $bar, $/; is faster than print $foo . ' -- ' . $bar . $/;

    One caveat though: When printing a list, each element is evaluated in LIST context whereas concatenated expressions are evaluated in SCALAR context....
