I don't see any occurence of the $& et al. variables in the code for Benchmark.pm

I think what our Anonymous friend means is that if one of the routines being benchmarked uses $&, then all routines suffer (unfairly) from the overhead.

    I'm pretty sure that the AM was referring to the module itself, especially since none of the code in this thread actually uses $& et al.
