You don't show your benchmark code or mention which version of perl you are testing with so it's hard to say exactly what is going on here. map in void context was recently optimised so that it wouldn't create the return list, but such use is still generally considered poor style. -- Paul Johnson - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pjcj.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
