in thread Strange performance loss after interpolating an array and then copying to another array;

That makes sense, though I am curious if perl bothers to copy both internal scalar representations. I ran my test again preceded by the below. I force each element into numeric context again after interpolating. I get almost all the performance back with this approach, but not quite all of it.


for my $element (@array)
{
   $element += 0;
}
