Hello Laurent_R,

You are absolutely right about the time, it just dose not worth it spending time to make your code executing faster and faster. Unless performance is really something so so critical.

The reason that I am trying to make my code run faster and actually playing around with pack and unpack is that I still learning. I am trying to get the most out of it by testing any possible aspect for future reference. At the same time when I found a good solution I tent to keep it in my database so I can easily recover it when needed and just applied it with small modifications.

The truth is that I still found my self reading and spending hours for something so small and sometimes so stupid that I do not really know if it does worth it. But as I said I am still learning so I tent to believe that I will stop doing that in future.

Again I want to say thank you for your time and effort reading and replying to my question.

Seeking for Perl wisdom...on the process of learning...not there...yet!
