The Perl coding efficiency is obvious. If you think that it is only like 2-3x, fine with me. From the code that I've written in Perl, I figure that it is more than that. But I would agree with a >= 2x number. So done point! The difference is so enormous I won't squabble about a minor factor of 2x.
No, I didn't mean Perl array. I meant Perl list. Please explain what you think the difference is between a Perl array and a Perl List. I think this just some kind of nomenclature difference.. Not any real disagreement!
Maintenance of a Perl "list" is expensive CPU wise and I didn't say that it wasn't.
@arr = grep {...} @arr is essentially a scan of of what would be in C linked list, but as I said, even more powerful from a language standpoint.
Update: I am still not "getting it". A simple Perl list is similar to a C char ** array (array of pointers of pointers to strings), but more flexible and more powerful.
