Re: Re: foreach (@array) s/x/y/ efficiency

This ends up actually taking longer to run than the original. I think that's because the s/// has to fly through the entire string of $material, where the loop version (original) stops (last out of loop) when it hits the match. (Not that I would really know for sure what I'm talking about.)

Could you provide the data you used to compare the different solutions? I really was expecting mine to be faster, so I'd like to figure out what I did wrong. Thanks!	[reply]

It's the book of Luke from the NIV Bible. Each element of `@material` is setup `^\d\t\d\tLuke\t$chapter\$verse\$verse_text\n`. And `@key_phrases` is just each key phrase from the material with a single space between the two words. (ex. `$key_phrases[6153] = "not immediately";`)	[reply] [d/l] [select]
