As others have suggested, I'd do it like this
my %hash = map { $_ => 1 } qw{ shave the modern way };
because, wherever possible, I want to keep declaration with initialisation.
It's probably a personal thing, but it really bugs me when I've got to separate them, as in
my $str;
$str = $_ x $freq{$_} for sort keys %freq;
which I had to write earlier today.
If you're really that concerned about speed, do it in C instead.
If you're really that concerned about memory, get more. It's really cheap nowadays.

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).
