Re^2: Benchmark: Constant List in Hash Slice

does this also explain why using a normal @array variable is faster than a constant list?

does this also explain why using a normal @array variable is faster than a constant list? No. That's because constant arrays are implemented as constant array refs. So `use constant foo qw(a b c); @a = $h{foo()}` [download] is implemented roughly as `use constant foo [qw(a b c)]; @a = $h{@{foo()}}` [download] And neither (as far as I'm aware) get the compile-time HEK treatment Dave.

Oh that's good to know, thanks! :) Hence constant arrays won't help much for tuning performance. Cheers Rolf _{(addicted to the Perl Programming Language :) Wikisyntax for the Monastery FootballPerl is like chess, only without the dice}	[reply]
