Re^2: Possible useless use of map

"Modern Perl versions don't have the older memory penalty of a anon array that cannot be deleted."

Has there ever been an array involved? I think it's always been a list of values on the stack.

Nope. C doesn't return arrays on the stack and neither does Perl. I recommend: "Advanced Perl Programming" by Srinivsan as a good reference for those interested about Perl internals.	[reply]

Who said return? Besides, the memory penalty wasnt a memory leak, just memory that was allocated needlessly, then released.	[reply]
