in reply to How does variable definition affect Perl performance ?

If you want to improve your code then run Perl::Critic on it - you will get plenty of sugggestions.

If you really want to know the effect of operations on variables then consider using Devel::Peek.

But, as others have said, there are probably better things you should be spending your time on over the Christmas period.
How about improving the testing for your modules? You do using Test::More, don't you?
What about updating all that documentation you never got around to? Did you ever get around to learning POD?

    Documentation ?!?? What's that ?

    Seriously, you may have a point, and judging from others' comments, once you get a script of this size there are as many ways to write it as there are Perl authors.

    Thanks for all the responses - I'll play it safe and only do what I've been asked to do...

    ...although I may give Perl::Critic a whirl...
