The naive assignment sucks but not as horribly. i posted a comment to that effect on the beginner's list. these ops will vary in speed based on string lengths (both original and prepend). it is hard to tell what will happen in the perl guts with the various ops since there could be extra buffer copies and stuff being done based on string sizes. uri -- Uri Guttman ------ [email protected] -------- http://www.sysarch.com -- ----- Perl Code Review , Architecture, Development, Training, Support ------ --------- Gourmet Hot Cocoa Mix ---- http://bestfriendscocoa.com --------- _______________________________________________ Boston-pm mailing list [email protected] http://mail.pm.org/mailman/listinfo/boston-pm
