in reply to Re^2: Converting a string to a real numeric value - what's faster?
in thread Converting a string to a real numeric value - what's faster?
if i am handling non-floating-point values, it's a bit more elegant ... to use int()
.. if it's worth the typed characters at all ;-)
As you said before, Perl will convert the string into a number internally if the string isn't already converted (IV-Flag not set) and if the string is used in a numerical context.
Of course, when using Perl-Guts (XS), you have to worry.
