davido,
You are correct as the following modified code shows:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Benchmark qw(:all);
my $length = (int rand 100) + 100;
my @char = ( 'a' .. 'c' , '+' , 'd' .. 'f' );
my $string;
$string .= $char[ int rand 7 ] for 0 .. $length ;
my $count = -5;
my $results = timethese ( $count,
{
'transliterate' => sub { my $foo = $string; $foo =~ tr/
++/ /; },
'substitution' => sub { my $bar = $string; $bar =~s/\+
+/ /g; },
},
'none'
);
cmpthese( $results ) ;
__END__
Rate substitution transliterate
substitution 124624/s -- -84%
transliterate 784349/s 529% --
Cheers - L~R

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).

are good places to start.
