My benchmark foo is very poor but does this show that if you do something with the arguments the "waste" is not as dramatic as your figures show?

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;

use Benchmark qw(cmpthese);

sub f{
  my %hash = @_;
  my $value = $hash{foo};
}
sub g{
  my $hash_ref = shift;
  my $value = $hash_ref->{foo}
}

cmpthese (
    -1 => {
        list => sub { f( foo => 1) },
        ref  => sub { g({foo => 1})},
    }
);
__END__

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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.


Do you know where your variables are?
