Weigh the benefits between grep and reinvented-wheel.
Yes, grep is not always optimally efficient. However,
how much time, effort (and money) will you spend writing a
more efficient algorithm to save a few microseconds?
my $Found = 0;
for (@Requirements){
if ($_ eq 'KernelDevlopment'){
$Found = 1;
last;
}
}
if ($Found != 0){
spend($Time{Extra});
squeeze($CPU{qw/every last cycle/});
}
### vs. ###
get_the_job_done() && move_on() unless grep {/KernelDevelopment/} @Req
+uirements;

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
