in reply to Re (tilly) 1: Improving the efficiency of this piece of code
in thread Improving the efficiency of this piece of code
The following explanations would seem to approve my approach. Are there other factors I should take into account? Reason(s) why I should forego the preceeding "&"? Particular situations, perhaps?
perlman::perlsub tells me:
"& is optional with parentheses" and that "& makes current @_ visible to called subroutine".
perlman::perlvar says:
"within a subroutine the array @_ contains the parameters passed to that subroutine. See the perlsub manpage".
thanks,
