( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

I was comparing the proposition to what happens actually in the cheapest of scenarios. So 3. is skipped, and 4. amounts to deallocate the PV. Yes, there are definitely more steps involved, and maybe some are also necessary for a RAW type.

But that's not the point. A RAW type instead of a SV(PV) would also undergo a lot of the steps the SV(PV) undergoes, even if the RAW had an inmutable type. I'm just saying that (re)assigning a string to a variable already containing just a string (i.e. only the PV slot allocated, no magic attached) is comparably cheap compared to all the "whatnot" the perl intepreter does. Is this incorrect? Then the OP makes a valid point.

perl -le'print map{pack c,($-++?1:13)+ord}split//,ESEL'

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
