I wonder how this would benchmark since it doesn't rescan any part of the string: use strict;
my $vowels="aeiou";
for my $str (qw(abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz missing_vowels)) {
my $tmp_v = $vowels;
LOOP: {
if ($str =~ /\G[^$tmp_v]*([$tmp_v])/i) {
$tmp_v =~ s/$1//i;
print "Succeeded: $str\n" and last LOOP unless $tmp_v;
redo LOOP;
}
print "Failed: $str\n" and last LOOP;
}
}
Update:Well, its dog slow. If there's a ton of consonants at the beginning of the string, it might be worthwhile, but otherwise, forget it. Oh well, it was worth a try :)

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).

are good places to start.
