Re^5: sub calls and memory use

In Perl you are generally better off translating tail calls to loops. They are way faster and easier to understand.

You never explained your use case, but your example is easily translated with redo

Concerning your memory growth, we'd need to know how you declared the "global var".

In Perl you are generally better off translating tail calls to loops. I replaced that recursive sub with a while loop and yeah, makes more sense, less code, and no memory bomb. ThanX Concerning your memory growth, we'd need to know how you declared the "global var". Sorry I was mistaken about that :-/	[reply]
