Re^5: splitting a sequence using unpack

If all I wanted to do was printing them out, I'd do:

    print $s;
[download]

Or, considering what I want to print was stored in a file, I'd skip the perl part, and do:

    cat file
[download]

I mean, if I were to optimize this snippets for some limited functionality, I might as well do the optimization right.

True, but I habitually have $\ set to \n, the snippet I posted prints 3 chars per line, not a single long line as both your's would do. I didn't think of it being an optimisation either. Just when I want to print a substring of a string, I tend to think of substr. Examine what is said, not who speaks. Silence betokens consent. Love the truth but pardon error.	[reply]
