RE: RE: Re: Encode quotes except in HTML?

And if you want to be as efficient as possible, use:

read DATA, $str, -s DATA;

but that's not convienient for things like the above either. It's a laziness/efficiency tradeoff :)

Though in this case, `sysread` was only 4% faster than "slurp" and `read` was 2% faster than `sysread` (which makes me suspicious that I can't trust the numbers to that level of accuracy). So the trade-off is a no-brainer for me. ;) - tye (but my friends call me "Tye")	[reply] [d/l] [select]
