Er... what overhead? You mean of making an array access because that's all it is. @+ and @- don't invoke the $`, $& and $' penalties. Those arrays are just offsets into the string. $-[0] is the offset of the beginning of the string and $+[0] is the offset of the end of the string. Using those doesn't prompt perl to do all the copying that capturing, $`, $&, and $' do. Its just not the same thing. Granted, I did miss that scalar /g loops only once and in this usage that'd be the only loop ever used. I find myself avoiding pos() after learning that it doesn't survive a local() on the variable in question. That's just style though.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
