I've been wondering for a long time... is there a slick (and hopefully fast!) way to do this?foreach (keys %fixhash) { $x=~s/\b$_\b/$fixhash{$_}/gi; } So if $x="this could be so cool" and $fixhash{"could"}="would"; $fixhash{"COOL"}="awesome"; $fixhash{"beso"}="nope"; $fixhash{"his"}="impossible"; then it would end up "this would be so awesome"
Have you tryed it? And is it faster than the way you were doing it before? What other ways have you tryed? Did you use the Benchmark module to compare the relative speed of different methods?
