hehehe You're probably right.
So, in the spirit of further useless benchmarking:
use Benchmark;
timethese( 10000000, {
5 => sub {my $R = 5;},
6 => sub {my $R = 6;}
});
results in:
5: 6 wallclock secs ( 6.61 usr + -0.03 sys = 6.58 CPU) @ 1519756
+.84/s
6: 6 wallclock secs ( 5.89 usr + 0.08 sys = 5.97 CPU) @ 1675041
+.88/s
As you can see, it is slightly faster to assign a 6 than a 5, so I will use 6's more often from now on... :-)

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.
