Sometimes verbose code is faster. This beat out the above regexp examples in all the cases I threw at it. (NOTE: the "Note unique" example is a best case scenario for this example, but the worst case of "All unique" still performs better").
use Benchmark qw( cmpthese ) ; my $digits = 2491306578; cmpthese( -5, { u1 => sub{ for ( 0 .. 9 ) { return 0 if $digits !~ /$_/;} return 1; }, u2 => sub{ my @x = sort split //, $digits; my $x = join "", @x; $x =~ tr/0-9//s; length $x == 10 ? return 1 : return 0; }, u3 => sub { return 0 if $digits =~ /(\d).*\1/; return 1; }, u4 => sub { return $digits !~ /(.).*\1/; }, u9 => sub { return 0 if index($digits, substr($digits,0,1), 1) != -1; return 0 if index($digits, substr($digits,1,1), 2) != -1; return 0 if index($digits, substr($digits,2,1), 3) != -1; return 0 if index($digits, substr($digits,3,1), 4) != -1; return 0 if index($digits, substr($digits,4,1), 5) != -1; return 0 if index($digits, substr($digits,5,1), 6) != -1; return 0 if index($digits, substr($digits,6,1), 7) != -1; return 0 if index($digits, substr($digits,7,1), 8) != -1; return 0 if index($digits, substr($digits,8,1), 9) != -1; return 1; }, } ); __END__
