Re^9: What esteemed monks think about changes necessary/desirable in Perl 7 outside of OO staff

How often do you need to compress internal whitespace? Anyway. it is faster:

$ perl -MBenchmark=cmpthese -wE'my$x=join"    "=>"",("abc")x5,"";say"s
+ourc: |$x|";sub trim{join" ",split" ",$x};sub rgx{$x=~s/^\s+//r=~s/\s
++$//r=~s/\s\s+/ /gr};say "split: |",trim(),"|";say"regex: |",rgx(),"|
+";cmpthese(-2,{splt=>\&trim,rgx=>\&rgx})'
sourc: |    abc    abc    abc    abc    abc    |
split: |abc abc abc abc abc|
regex: |abc abc abc abc abc|
          Rate  rgx splt
rgx   506423/s   -- -71%
splt 1767763/s 249%   --

I think I always want whitespace normalized. I can’t think of a case where it wouldn’t bother me, even if, as in HTML rendering defaults, it generally will not be apparent. Two spaces between words in a title or regular text is as much a typographical error as a misspelling.	[reply]

$ `perl -MBenchmark=cmpthese -wE'my$x=join" "=>"",("abc")x5,"";say"sourc: ... yadda yadda ...` Sorry, but this overly wide code-line is breaking the formatting of most of the thread.

strange, logging out showed proper wrapping of long lines. Not sure whats going wrong here, these are my Display Settings `Code Listing Settings Code Wrapping Off [ ] Code Wrap Length [80] Auto Code Wrapping [x] Code Prefix [<font color="red"><i></i></font>]` [download] have to check my own CSS settings and other browsers. never mind! :) Cheers Rolf _{(addicted to the Perl Programming Language :) Wikisyntax for the Monastery}	[reply] [d/l]
