It is built in. String concatenation using Join is plenty fast.

String handling is such a common task and if it can be done in a more
readable fashion than perl it has to be a good thing. There really
shouldn't
have to be a need to use 3rd party plugins like elfdata to get the
speed.
Such stuff should be built in.

This is the sort of thing for which Perl is designed. I think your

do it with a C program without some work.
Understood and, as I said in my original post, I didn’t think I
would beat
perl, but I thought I could come closer than a 4X difference.
