I personally use /o, but only when it actually means something. In my case the package has a "constant" in a global variable (I'm just not using a `use constant ...`) and the constant is used in a regex. In that case I know that perl is going to keep re-interpolating the variable on every execution and the /o just prevents that. The actual regex wouldn't be compiled more than once because the constant wouldn't change, I just get perl to save some work later. The idea here is that /o is *all* about interpolation. If you aren't interpolating anything then it has absolutely no point.

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).
