The problem with this code excerpt is that if you lookup several values in the
same unmodified array, then you'll prepare a hash out of the array times and
again instead of compiling it once and looking it up. This is unless you cache
or memoise the array somehow.
An OO solution would be better:
{{{{{
my $beatles_lookup = ArrayLookup->new(\...@beatles);
if ($beatles_lookup->has("George"))
{
...
}
}}}}}
