Re^2: A question for the enlightened.

Thanks for the reply.
~~Uh, "YMMV"? ;)~~

I was under the impression that I now used a variable ($record) while it was not needed. Which is memory allocation while not needed, which is inefficient. Or am I wrong on this point? I *do* agree that it is more readable though.

Before saying "it's inefficient", did you benchmark it?	[reply]

I am unfamiliar with script benchmarking, thus no, but thanks for the heads-up. But it feels to me like renting two trucks to haul stuff, while you only need one. The speed difference will probably not be visible, but I myself consider it sloppy. It's like declaring an Int32 while you need is Int16.	[reply]
