Here is a benchmark:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use Benchmark;
timethese(1000, {
'global' => '&global',
'local' => '&local' });
sub global {
my %hash;
for(1..100) {
for(1..10) { $hash{rand(100)} = 123; };
}
%hash=();
}
sub local {
for(1..100) {
my %hash;
for(1..10) { $hash{rand(100)} = 123; };
}
}
And it gives:
Benchmark: timing 1000 iterations of global, local...
global: 14 wallclock secs (13.47 usr + 0.01 sys = 13.48 CPU)
local: 14 wallclock secs (13.33 usr + 0.02 sys = 13.35 CPU)
so it seems like there is not much difference.
