I'd say that do() is a little faster. The script that was being called/shelled out to is just a few lines and is rather irrelevant:
Benchmark: timing 100000 iterations of do, sys...
do: 4 wallclock secs ( 2.91 usr + 0.82 sys = 3.73 CPU) @ 26
+809.65/s (n=100000)
sys: 441 wallclock secs ( 1.65 usr 19.06 sys + 304.06 cusr 117.
+50 csys = 442.27 CPU) @ 226.11/s (n=100000)
Rate sys do
sys 223/s -- -99%
do 26110/s 11617% --
Benchmark script:
use warnings;
use strict;
use Benchmark qw(timethese cmpthese);
use lib '.';
timethese(
100000,
{
do => sub { do 'script.pl' },
sys => sub { system 'perl script.pl' },
}
);
cmpthese(
100000,
{
do => sub { do 'script.pl' },
sys => sub { system 'perl script.pl' },
}
);

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
