G'day Danny,

I see you have a keen interest in code performance. To help you improve further in this area, you might be interested in:

• Re^5: looping efficiency (B::Terse OP codes) - example using B::Terse to see the OP codes used by perl when it runs your code
• Fastest way to lookup a point in a set - example using Perl's Benchmark module to compare the performance of different implementations of a function
• Re: Confused by RegEx count by choroba (update) - a shorter example of using Benchmark (that I see Danny replied to)

While comparing code performance can be a fun way to learn, I feel obliged to warn of its dangers:

• on Code Optimization - cautionary advice that many programmers spend far too much time worrying about efficiency in the wrong places and at the wrong times ("premature optimization is the root of all evil")
• Re: Big cache (my top ten software development practices)
• Re: Some Help for a Report About Perl (Readability vs Maintainability References)

👁️🍾👍🦟
