I have to assume someone has done this before, but I didn't
see it, so...
Benchmarking interpolated strings vs. appended strings:
use Benchmark;
timethese( 1000000, {
interp => sub {my $R = 1; my $S = "Test${R}a"},
append => sub {my $R = 1; my $S = 'Test' . $R . 'a'}
});
results in:
Benchmark: timing 1000000 iterations of interp, manual...
interp: 4 wallclock secs ( 3.68 usr + 0.05 sys = 3.73 CPU) @ 2680
+96.51/s
manual: 3 wallclock secs ( 3.79 usr + -0.13 sys = 3.66 CPU) @ 2732
+24.04/s
Slightly faster to append strings together than to interpolate them, but statistically, it's a wash...

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
