You have a benchmark problem.

You see, the most vile aspect about $`, $& and $' is the fact that they affect every single regexp in your script or any module used. So if you benchmark it against other approaches that also use regular expressions, you'll slow them down, too. Conclusion: if you want to compare approaches, you should do benchmark them in separate scripts.

You should also check out how speed compares between matches, especially on extremely long strings, with and without one of ($`, $&, $') being mentioned anywhere in your script. Because it's there that it matters, not where you actually make use of them, but everywhere else.

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.
