lol -- now *there's* an answer.
So for my details I should go to the parse tree docs, and the code, I'm
thinking.
BTW -- with many thanks to everyone -- my question was "why are they
faster", but the reason was never the speed -- it was to understand the
way Perl stores and *accesses* lexicals.
Any input? =o)
