in thread Array sort - kind of...

Wouldn't this eliminate more of the overhead?
my ($min, $min_i) = ($array[0]->[2], 0); foreach my $i (1..$#array) { ($min, $min_i) = ($array[$i]->[2], $i) if $array[$i]->[2] < $min; }

Re: x 5 Array sort - kind of... (benchmark)

    Yup, sure does. (*sigh* busted ;-) But it turns out a combination is slightly better as well. The modifier form of the for loop doesn't have the marginal overhead of scope (er I think...), although I wonder if the 3% gain is worth the obfu.

    I have to admit that I was suprised to discover that the list assignment is so much faster than an array lookup (which obviously is why yours is faster). Somthing I shall keep in mind for the future.

    Heres my benchmarks...
