I think BrowserUk's solution is going to be faster.
That would not be my guess, unless it's the /i that's killing the performance. /a/ will not use the regexp engine, the optimizer will do it. If speed is an issue, and you want to be case sensitive, my bet would go to:
if ((/a/ || /A/) && (/e/ || /E/) && (/i/ || /I/) && (/o/ || /O/) && (/ +u/ || /U/)) { ... }
but I'm too lazy to come up with a good benchmark (which should test for both match and non-match). And if the query set would be English words, I'd order the vowels from least frequently occurring to most frequently (probably u-i-o-a-e, but I'd have to look that up), in order to fail faster.

Of course, it's also very likely speed doesn't matter at all.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • 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.
