Re^7: Avoiding Globals with OO Perl

Both tests set and reference the variable 1000 times each. Yep. Would you write code like that in a real program?

Set and reference the value of scalars. Yes, I do that in every program I write. And so do you!

silly busywork

Okay, I can see you're wearing your dOOgma head today so there'll be no placating you.

But, for those readers concerned with actually understanding what is going on in the benchmark, the loop within the subs is common to both and is therefore irrelevant to the relative performance -- the percentage figures -- produced by the benchmark.

The benchmark is sound.

The relevance of the benchmark depends upon real-world usage, but since the OP hasn't posted any real-world usage -- and it would be specific to his application even if he had -- it is up to each reader to decide upon the importance of performance to their knowledge of their applications.

Your attempts at blanket derisory dismissal serve no one.

With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday'

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.
